Now the ‘Spalletti era’ begins with ‘Azzurra‘. And he does it with a desire to ‘revenge‘. Not the new Italian coach, one of the great architects of the third ‘shield‘from the history of Naplesbut of the whole transalpine country.

North Macedoniahis rival tonight, shocked the football planet in March 2022 and left Italy, current European champion, without the second consecutive World Cup. A strong blow that he never fully recovered from. Roberto Mancini, who left his position shooting at everyone and everything. “We were no longer on the same page, it is always better to anticipate before something more serious happens. It is a decision that I made with great sadness,” launched the new coach of Saudi Arabia.

With Spalletti at the helm, Italy will try to straighten its course in a Group B lead with an iron hand the England of Gareth Southgate. To do this, they will need to beat the Macedonians at home and, once they return to Milan, a Ukrainian team with whom they intend to compete for second position.
