Italian boss Cesare Prandelli is ready to throw his hat in the ring to become Scotland’s new boss.

It’s understood that the former Roma and Fiorentina gaffer is interested in taking over from Gordon Strachan.

And Mailsport understands the 60-year-old’s representatives plan to make that known to the SFA in the coming weeks.

Prandelli is currently managing UAE side Al Nasr in the Gulf League.

But he was previously in charge of the Italy national side for four years and led them to the Euro 2012 final.

Prandelli has 20 years of coaching experience and more recently managed Galatasaray and Valencia.

Hampden bosses will begin their search for a successor to Strachan on Monday, with Malky Mackay interim boss for a November friendly against Holland.

SFA chief Stewart Regan has already confirmed that they’ve received several applications and notes of interest in the job from around the world.
