Only 3 days at Stuttgart, Vfb`s new coach Giovanni Trapattoni declared uneqivocal that the swabian topside will become very italian in the future.

Originally the Vfb was after Rennes star Alex Frei to replace Kevin Kurany who moved to Schalke. But Trapattoni would prefer a compatriot: Vinceno Montella`s contract with Roma has ended so he would be for free.

Should Alexander Hleb leave Stuttgart (Arsenal is strongly interested) could turkish international Emre from FC Internationale try to fill the gap in the midfield.

Also his longterm co-trainers Fausto Rossi (condition) and Adriano Bardin (Golkeepers) he would like to bring to Stuttgart... although they have allready a very "worked out" coaching team.
