Italy head coach Roberto Mancini quits
Roberto Mancini has resigned as coach of Italy, the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) announced on Sunday.
The federation said in a statement that it “received late yesterday evening” Mancini’s surprise decision to step down.”
“Because of important and close commitments for the team with Euro 2024 qualifiers against North Macedonia and Ukraine, the FIGC will announce the name of the new national coach in the next few days,” the federation added.
Mancini was appointed in May 2018 after Italy’s failure to qualify for the 2018 World Cup under Gian Piero Ventura.
A former international, Mancini won Euro 2021 with Italy but failed to qualify his side for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
The 58-year-old coach was earlier in the month handed the responsibility for the country’s Under-21 and Under-20 teams.
There are speculations that Luciano Spalletti could be his successor after ending Napoli’s 33-year wait for the Serie A title last season before leaving his post.
