Former Italy, Juventus, and AC Milan defender Leonardo Bonucci has been appointed as an assistant coach for the U20 national team.
This information was confirmed by the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) press office. The team is currently coached by Bernardo Corradi.
Leonardo came back home. I am convinced that Leo can grow a lot in Italy and, at the same time, can offer an important contribution to the construction of the federal coaching academy.
