Sensational: Roberto Mancini has resigned as Italy coach

The news comes with a thunderbolt on an August Sunday: Roberto Mancini has resigned as coach of the Italian national team. It was the FIGC itself that announced it in a statement. While we wait to understand the demise, here it is.

“The Federazione Italiana Giuoco Calcio communicates that it has taken note of the resignation of Roberto Mancini from the position of technical commissioner of the Italian national team, received late yesterday evening.”

“Therefore, a significant page in the history of the Azzurri ends, which began in May 2018 and ended with the 2023 Nations League Finals; in between, the victory at Euro 2020, a triumph conquered by a group in which all the individuals knew how to become a team.”

“Taking into account the important and close commitments for the qualifiers for UEFA Euro 2024 (September 10 and 12 with North Macedonia and Ukraine), the FIGC will communicate in the coming days the name of the new coach of the national team.”
