Roberto Mancini has been appointed as the new coach of Italy.
The Italian Football Federation announced the appointment of the former Manchester City boss, who will be presented to the media on Tuesday.
Mancini's exit from Zenit St Petersburg was confirmed on Sunday, with the Russian club revealing his contract had been terminated by mutual consent.
Mancini is the permanent successor to Giampiero Ventura, who was sacked in November after the Azzurri failed to reach the World Cup for the first time in 60 years.
Luigi di Biagio, the coach of Italy's Under-21 side, has been in caretaker charge of the national team.
Mancini, who won 36 caps for Italy as a player, led City to the Premier League title in 2011/12 during a three-and-a-half year spell in charge at the Etihad, having previously won three Serie A titles with Inter Milan.
Since leaving City in 2013 he has managed Galatasaray and Inter again before being appointed Zenit boss last June.
