After Marcelo Lippi's resignation, former Milan and MetroStars midfielder Roberto Donadoni has the unenviable task of replacing him.

Donadoni is only 42, and has nothing like the wealth of experience Lippi brought to the job. His most recent achievement was guiding Livorno to sixth place in Serie A. I wish him all the best, but he's got some massive managerial boots to fill. And a World Cup final rematch away to France on September 6th.
