Italy team: Can changing generals change luck?
(Baonghean.vn) - Although he still has a contract with the Italian Football Federation, coach Roberto Mancini still decided to lead the Saudi Arabian National Team.
With the ambition of bringing the Saudi Arabian team to the throne at the 2024 Asian Cup and winning a ticket to the 2026 World Cup, the country's Football Federation has contacted a series of famous coaches. And before the attractive invitation of the Saudi Arabian Football Federation, coach Roberto Mancini could not refuse the extremely attractive treatment.
Unable to retain coach Roberto Mancini,Football FederationItaly had to "light the torch" to find a new captain for the team. Fortunately, at this time, coach Luciano Spalletti is unemployed. Because, after helping Napoli win the Serie A 2022/2023 title, the strategist born in 1959 decided to leave football for 1 year.
Receiving an invitation from the Italian Football Federation, coach Luciano Spalletti immediately agreed to a contract until 2026. Objectively speaking, no one is more suitable than coach Luciano Spalletti to sit in the hot seat of the Italian National Team, which was just abandoned by coach Roberto Mancini without regret.
In the past, in addition to the successful years with Napoli, coach Luciano Spalletti also led a number of other famous clubs such as Inter Milan, AS Roma or Zenit Sankt Petersburg... Coach Luciano Spalletti's talent is unquestionable. The 2022/2023 Serie A championship with Napoli is a typical example.
Hopefully, under the leadership of new coach Luciano Spalletti, the Italian team will overcome the dark period (missing the 2018 World Cup and the World Cup) to reap success in the near future, specifically at EURO 2024, a tournament hosted by Germany. Don't forget, the Azzurri are the reigning European champions.
The first match of the Italian team under coach Luciano Spalletti is an away match against the North Macedonia team, taking place in the early morning of September 10. Currently, after 4 matches, the Italian team is temporarily in 3rd place and still has 2 matches left to play. The risk of not participating in EURO 2024 for the Azzurri is very clear.
Let's wait and see, can the "blue team" change their fortunes with a new general?
