Italian Football Federation (FIGC) commissioner Luca Pancalli has given his unequivocal backing to under-fire coach Roberto Donadoni.
Donadoni has found his position called into question following a series of disappointing results and less than convincing performances since he succeeded Marcello Lippi last summer.
The Azzurri take on Scotland next Wednesday in a crucial Euro 2008 qualifier in Bari and, with Donadoni's side trailing the Scots and France in their qualification group, more dropped points would only increase the pressure on the former Livorno coach.
Pancalli is adamant that Donadoni is the man to lead his nation, however, and has stressed the benefits of continuity.
"Donadoni is untouchable," declared Pancalli. "I've complete faith in him and at this moment the team needs continuity and not disruption."
