Vatican Football Team

[westcorklad]

I see that Giovanni Trappatoni has said that he would like to manage the Vatican City football team before he retires.They certainly would not be lacking spiritual guidance although I doubt that they will be qualifying for any major tournaments anytime soon.

Ireland coach Giovanni Trapattoni has said he would like to turn his hand at coaching the Vatican City's national football team in the future.

The Vatican City is not a FIFA member and they often play in religious tournaments and selected internationals.

But Trap likes the idea, and he has given it the thumbs up.

"I have been asked to coach the Vatican national side, but I am currently working for Ireland," he told La Repubblica.

"But when I retire then I would like to."

Trapattoni was at a special conference for the fourth edition of the Clericus Cup that kicks off on Saturday in Rome.

The Clericus Cup is an annual tournament organised by the Vatican for priests and trainee priests
