The Italian national team, which failed to qualify for the 2026 World Cup, has chosen possible options for replacing the head coach of the national team, Gennaro Gattuso.. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Italian Football Federation is considering the possibility of attracting a foreign specialist to the post of head of Squadra Azzurra, in particular, Josep Guardiola. It is believed that the 55-year-old Manchester City manager could leave the team after the end of the current season, despite having a contract in place until the summer of 2027. Also being considered as potential candidates are the return of former Italy coaches: Roberto Mancini, who led Squadra Azzurra to Euro 2020 triumph and currently leads al-Sadd in Qatar, or current Napoli coach Antonio Conte, who worked with the national team between 2014-2016. We remind you that in the final playoff qualifying for the 2026 World Cup, the Italian team lost to Bosnia and Herzegovina in a penalty shootout (1:1, 1:4 pen).. ) and could not make it to the third world championship in a row. Earlier it was reported that Gattuso would leave the post of head coach of the Italian national team..
