Well he was a great player but has very little coaching experience....he did well with Livorno though, bringing them fourth in the Seria A...I wish him the best of luck...he is in a tough position now that he will be coaching the Champions of the World.

Donadoni scored 21 goals for Milan and six for the MetroStars. He added five for Italy in 63 caps. After retiring as a player, he coached Italian clubs Lecco (2001-02), Livorno (2002-03) and Genoa (2003-04). In 2005, he returned to head Livorno in mid-season. After leading them to a surprising ninth-place finish and having the club in sixth place midway through the 2005-06 season, Donadoni resigned over criticism from club chairman Aldo Spinelli.
In July 2006, following the resignation of Marcello Lippi after the Italian National Team won the 2006 FIFA World Cup, Donadoni was named as Italy's new head coach, his first task being to successfully lead the World Champions through qualification for Euro 2008.
Not much success as a player... but who knows...

I 'd rather have had Franco Baresi -- he was a far better player. But then again, you can be a great player and have no coaching skills. It seems so far he has done a good job as a coach, the teams he coached did improve and advance, so he may have those skills.

To be honest if he doesn't bribe referees that's a good start.Italy's World cup has been ruined tonight.
