What awaits coach Roberto Mancini in the Italian national team?
(Baonghean.vn) - Roberto Mancini has officially become the head coach of the Italian national team. The immediate task of the former Man City captain is to help the "blue team" qualify for Euro 2020.
It took nearly half a year since the dismissal of coach Ventura (November 2017) for the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) to decide to appoint a new head coach for the national team. After a period of negotiation, the person finally chosen was coach Roberto Mancini.
This result did not surprise experts and fans. Coach Carlo Ancelotti, Coach Antonio Conte, Coach Max Allegri... all refused the honor of leading the Italian national team, so Coach Roberto Mancini was almost the only choice.
Coach Roberto Mancini's dream of becoming the head coach of the Italian national team has come true. The immediate task of the strategist born in 1964 is to help his hometown team return to its golden age.
The Euro 2020 qualifying campaign is an important test for Roberto Mancini in his new position. If the "blue team" passes the qualifying round, the former Lazio player will automatically join his team in the Euro 2020 finals. Otherwise, the same fate as his predecessor, coach Ventura, awaits coach Roberto Mancini ahead.

The advantage for coach Roberto Mancini is that in the current situation, Italian football has many talented faces in different positions.
Typical examples include goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma (AC Milan), central defenders Bonucci, Romagnoli (AC Milan), midfielders Marco Verratti (PSG), Jorginho (Napoli), strikers Belotti (Torino), Bernardeschi (Juventus), Federico Chiesa (Fiorentina), Lorenzo Insigne (Napoli)... It's been a long time since Italian football has had so many talents.
With what he has in hand, Coach Roberto Mancini is more than capable of building the Italian national team into a formidable force in Europe as well as the world. Compared to the three recent coaches of the “blue team”, Coach Cesare Prandelli, Coach Antonio Conte and Coach Ventura, new captain Roberto Mancini has more advantages in terms of player quality.
Promisingly, under the guidance of coach Roberto Mancini, the Italian team is a young, talented and ambitious team.

Besides the advantage of player quality, the 54-year-old strategist also faces a big challenge, which is his experience as a coach at the national team level.
Although he has achieved many successes with Fiorentina Club (winning Coppa Italia in 2001), Lazio Club (winning Coppa Italia in 2004), Inter Milan Club (winning Serie A for 3 seasons: 2005/2006, 2006/2007, 2007/2008...), Man City Club (winning Premier League in 2011/2012, winning FA Cup in 2011...)... However, Coach Roberto Mancini has never led a national team.
The work at the club is not the same as the national team, so the former Inter Milan coach had to spend a lot of time getting used to the new environment. Don't forget, leading the Italian national team, a team that has won the World Cup 4 times and the European Championship 1 time, is never an easy job.
Even famous coaches like Arrigo Sacchi (1991 – 1996), Coach Cesare Maldini (1997 – 1998), Giovani Trapattoni (2000 – 2004)… had to resign or were fired in bitterness. Difficulties and challenges are waiting for Coach Roberto Mancini right in front of him.
There is a saying: “Hardships reveal heroes”. This is the right time for coach Roberto Mancini to prove his talent as captain of the Italian national team./.
