This is an honour and a challenge that will be very exciting to take on." Gian Piero Ventura Date of birth: 14 January 1948 Nationality: Italian Playing career: FS Sestrese Calcio, USD Enna, SSDU Sanremo, USD Novese Coaching career: UC Sampdoria (youth), ASD Albenga, ACD Rapallo Ruentes, Virtus Entella, Spezia Calcio, US Centese, US Pistoiese, ASD Giarre Calcio, Venezia FC, US Lecce, Cagliari Calcio (twice9, UC Sampdoria, Udinese calcio, SSC Napoli, ACR Messina, Hellas-Verona FC, AC Pisa, FC Bari, Torino FC, Italy • Born in Genoa, Ventura started his playing and coaching careers in the youth system of Sampdoria. As a midfielder he made nine appearances for Sicilian outfit Enna in Serie C, the highest level he played at. • Began coaching in the Sampdoria academy in 1976 and worked for several teams in the lower divisions before finally making his Serie A debut more than two decades later after leading Cagliari to promotion in 1998. He had done the same the previous season with Lecce, only to be replaced by Cesare Prandelli before the campaign started. • He continued to move between posts in Serie A and Serie B, but his stock rose considerably after he replaced Antonio Conte at Bari ahead of the 2009/10 season. Ventura guided Bari to tenth place with a club record 50 points in Serie A, drawing twice against José Mourinho's FC Internazionale Milano and defeating Juventus 3-1. • In 2011 he accepted the call from Torino, then in Serie B. "I could take a mid-table team in Serie A but trying to take Torino back to Serie A is the real libido," he famously said. He not only achieved that but also led the Granata into Europe. Under Ventura, Torino reached the UEFA Europa League round of 16 in 2014/15 after a memorable 3-2 win at Athletic Club. • After becoming the trainer with most consecutive games on the Torino bench (217), third overall behind Luigi Radice and Emiliano Mondonico, Ventura was announced as Conte's successor as Italy coach in June 2016. 6 Sweden - Italy Friday 10 November 2017 - 20.45CET (20.45 local time) Match press kit Friends Arena, Solna Match officials Referee Cüneyt Çakır (TUR) Assistant referees Bahattin Duran (TUR) , Tarik Ongun (TUR) Fourth official Hüseyin Göçek (TUR) UEFA Delegate Jānis Mežeckis (LVA) UEFA Referee observer Sándor Piller (HUN) Referee Name Date of birth UEFA matches Cüneyt Çakır 23/11/1976 9 98 FIFA Wold Cup matches involving teams from the two countries involved in this match Stage Date Competition Home Away Result Venue reached 11/10/2013 WC QR Sweden Austria 2-1 Solna Other matches involving teams from either of the two countries involved in this match Stage Date Competition Home Away Result Venue reached 01/10/2009 UEL GS Valencia CF Genoa CFC 3-2 Valencia 19/08/2010 UEL PO SK Sturm Graz Juventus 1-2 Graz 12/10/2010 U21 PO Belarus Italy 3-0 Borisov 07/12/2010 UCL GS SV Werder Bremen FC Internazionale Milano 3-0 Bremen 24/02/2011 UEL R32 Villarreal CF SSC Napoli 2-1 Villarreal 11/10/2011 EURO QR Sweden Netherlands 3-2 Solna 22/02/2012 UCL R16 Olympique de Marseille FC Internazionale Milano 1-0 Marseille 18/06/2012 EURO GS-FT Italy Republic of Ireland 2-0 Poznan 20/11/2012 UCL GS Juventus Chelsea FC 3-0 Turin 20/08/2013 UCL PO PSV Eindhoven AC Milan 1-1 Eindhoven
