Trap on his way to Morocco

Reports in Italy have linked former Republic of Ireland manager Giovanni Trapattoni with the manager’s job at Morocco.

The Italian, 75, has been out of work since parting ways with Ireland following a 1-0 defeat to Austria last September. However, according to the Corriere dello Sport Trapattoni, left, is “very close” to signing a four-year contract.

It is said that Trapattoni would want to bring in Marco Tardelli as his assistant, the same role he held while the duo worked together in Ireland.
