The Nazionale It’s scary. With the exception of the last two World Cups and the bad position for the 2026 World Cup, he is still looking for a new coach this Wednesday after Claudio Ranieri and Stefano Pioli’s backdrop. It became a end of the ritual of the season: with the arrival of the tag -day, the selection makes the spring cleaning and the coaches leave or change the coach.
Nine of the twenty clubs participating in the 2025-26 period of Serie A, beginning August 23, has changed the coach, and the figure is still rising. But one team is still not covered, the most prestigious and also the most exposed: Italy’s Nazionale, four -time champion in the world and twice in the European champion. Officially, Luciano Spalletti is still the coach of Italy, but after a win over Norway (3-0) on Friday, the Italian Federation (FIGC) discovers his imminent dismissal.
To revive his national team, third in Group I, nine points from the Norwegian leader, on the way to the North American World Cup of 2026, Figc believes the perfect candidate to Claudio Ranieri. Experienced, less aggressive with players than Spalletti and no contract, after retiring after a Kapana -anticipated final stage in AS Rome, the elegant 73 -Year -old coach seemed ready to leave. The negotiations approached an agreement with one contract of one, before there was a dramatic turn to the events: the president of the FIGC, Gabriele Gravina, received a text message in mid -Monday night. “No, I’m sorry,” Raniieri wrote, justifying his removal claiming his new role as a strategic advisor to those who owned the US of AS Rome.
Surprised by this change of course, FIGC went to Pioli, former AC Milan’s acrenator (2019-24), currently under the command of the Saudi Club Al-Nassr. Italian football leaders do not have to talk to Pioli: Their agent informed them that he was about to sign with Fiorentina, the club he trained between 2017 and 2019. These casualties describe the national team’s image breakdown, which failed to qualify for 2018 and 2022 World Cups, before 2024 EuroCopa 2024 -Is 16.
Safety can come from the 2006 World Champions. The three names continue to play: Daniele de Rossi, Fabio Cannavaro and Gennaro Gattuso, who, according to Italy’s press, are in the pole position. They shared the winner of their fourth and final title of the world against Zinédine Zidane’s France in 2006 at the Berlin Olympic Stadium, but also a history of their career failures as coaches.
Gattuso, who passed AC Milan, Naples and Marseille, left the hajduk after just a period of time. Although he only won a trophy in his career as a coach (the Italian Cup with Naples), the Milan Eccentrocfield has a basic quality in the eyes of Italy’s leaders: his fiery behavior, which can survive a selection of Naziones suffering from a clear lack of personality, a unique stamp of his premise.
