Roberto Mancini’s words

Roberto Mancini explained his farewell to the national team through a post on his Instagram profile.

“The resignation as coach of the national team was my personal choice. I thank President Gabriele Gravina for the trust, along with all the members of the Figc. I greet and thank all my players and fans who have accompanied me in these 5 years. I will always carry in my heart the extraordinary victory of the 2020 European Championship. It was an honor,” wrote the coach from Jesolo.

Mancini on the Azzurri bench achieved a total of 39 wins, 13 draws and 9 defeats. The high point was reached with the European Championship victory while the low point was the failure to qualify for the World Cup in Qatar. For him also two Nations League finals qualifiers.
