Watford tracking ex-Italy boss Gian Piero Ventura?

Watford will reportedly turn to former Italy manager Gian Piero Ventura if current manager Marco Silva leaves the club.

Silva has been linked with the vacant Everton job following Ronald Koeman's sacking, but no progress has been made between the two so far.

Tuttosport reports, however, that Silva will exit Vicarage Road and Ventura will take his place.

Ventura was sacked by Italy following the national team's failure to make the World Cup in their playoff game against Sweden, and could be interested in a move to the Premier League.

The 69-year-old managed Torino prior to his spell in charge of the Azzurri.
