The latest would-be suitors are the Croatian Federation with La Gazzetta dello Sport reporting that they are on the search for someone to steer the side to the Russian World Cup in place of temporary coach Zlatko Dalic who is a replacement for the recently sacked Ante Cacic. The key caveat in Ancelotti being a serious candidate is the condition that  The Vatrenien secure a place in next summers World Cup.
