Rome, May 20 (Ians) Federico Chiesa scored the decisive goal as Juventus sealed a record-extending 14th Coppa Italia title with a 2-1 win over Atalanta.
It has been a disappointing first season in charge for coach Andrea Pirlo, with the Bianconeri knocked out of the Champions League at the last-16 stage by Porto and their hopes of qualifying for next season's competition hanging by a thread ahead of the final round of Serie A fixtures this weekend.

Rome, Feb 3 (Ians) Italy coach Roberto Mancini has said that he would like to leave the Azzurri and return to club management after the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
Mancini took charge of Italy in May 2018, after the Azzurri had failed to qualify for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia under predecessor Giampiero Ventura, reports Xinhua news agency.

However, the Inter Milan and Manchester City coach told Italian talk show Tiki Taka on Tuesday that he would prefer to step down and return to club management.
"I will no longer be the coach of the national team after the World Cup in Qatar 2022, and I will return to coach a club," he said.
Mancini also named three candidates to succeed him. "There are many coaches who can do it,...
