Infantino wants Buffon to work in FIFA when he finishes playing career.

The Italian team for the first time since 1958 did not qualify for the World Cup, losing in the playoffs to the Swedes.

"I'm very, very upset because of the World Cup. I almost cried: the first Italian president of FIFA, and the World Cup will be held without Italy, "said Infantino Gazzetta dello Sport.

"I think everyone was upset, because we are talking about a team with rich traditions, which is always laid out to the maximum in such tournaments".

"But all who will be in Russia, deservedly got to the tournament. At least, Italy has an Italian president. Do we need to prove somehow that FIFA is an honest and transparent organization? ".

"Although I would like to hand the cup to Buffon. Can he take a position in FIFA? Yes, I'm going to meet him personally and offer such an option ".

Recently there was information that Gianluigi is considering continuing to compete for the Italian national team until 2020.
