Gabriele Gravina still stings Roberto Mancini

Gabriele Gravina, another blow to Roberto Mancini

On the occasion of England-Italy, a match of the Euro 2024 qualifiers that will be played on Tuesday evening, with kickoff at 8:45 p.m., the Azzurri delegation headed by Federcalcio President Gabriele Gravina attended an event dedicated to the sporting rivalry between our national team and that of the Three Lions.

The occasion è was useful, for reporters, to ask a few questions to the Figc number one, who è returned to sting former technical commissioner Roberto Mancini, who resigned in August. "From the sporting point of view è everything is behind us – he said – I want to reiterate, once again, that from the human point of view è a wound that has not been overcome, a bitterness that cannot be removed. The relationship was one of total availability, but his exit è was unusual".

The present, however, is called Luciano Spalletti, and Gravina wanted to emphasize the work done by the former Napoli coach: "In just a few days we hit important results, I appreciated his way of working right away, both from the sporting and human".

"I am excited becauseé Luciano has brought to the national team a contagious enthusiasm that everyone is experiencing, especially the players. I have to thank him becauseé sometimes when we start the relationship with a coach there are many reflections, but he gave us carte blanche on the directions to give: it never happened before".
