Italy to host Netherlands in June friendly in Turin

Italy will host Netherlands in a friendly in Turin in June, the Italian Football Federation announced on Friday.

Netherlands' visit to the Juventus Stadium on June 4 is the latest fixture to be added to the Azzurri's list of friendlies following their failure to qualify for next summer's World Cup finals in Russia.

Italy are scheduled to play Argentina and England next month in Manchester and London respectively and face France in Nice on June 1.

Unbeaten in three previous encounters at the Juventus Stadium, Italy appointed under-21s coach Luigi Di Biagio as the senior team's interim coach earlier this month.

Former boss Gian Piero Ventura was sacked in November last year after Italy failed to qualify for the World Cup for the first time in 60 years.
