Trapattoni tempted by Vatican hot seat

FROM the Hand of Gaul to the Hand Of God – Giovanni Trapattoni has said that he would one day like to manage the Vatican City football team.

The Ireland manager, who is regularly linked with a host of international football jobs, revealed that he has already been approached about taking up the position but reckons it’s a task best left for his retirement.

“I have been asked to coach the Vatican national side but I am currently working for Ireland,” he told the Italian newspaper La Repubblica. “But when I retire, I would like to.”
