Join us for live updates from Gennaro Gattuso’s press conference in Coverciano as Italy prepare for World Cup qualifying matches against Estonia and Israel.

The CT arrives in the press room at 14:00 CET today (13:00 GMT).

Gattuso was appointed in June to replace Luciano Spalletti.

Football Italia is among the accredited media in Coverciano today.

Later on, the Azzurri will train under Gattuso for the first time, with the entire training session open to the media.

Gattuso has given the first Italy call-up to Giovanni Leoni and Francesco Pio Esposito.

The ex-Parma defender has joined Liverpool this summer, while Pio Esposito returned to Inter after a two-year loan spell at Spezia in Serie B.

The promising striker scored his first senior goal for Inter earlier this summer in a 1-0 win over River Plate in the Club World Cup.

Italy will host Estonia in Bergamo on September 5 in Gattuso’s debut as the new Azzurri head coach. The game against Israel is technically an away fixture and will be played on neutral turf in Debrecen.
