Head coach, Roberto Mancini has officially resigned as coach of Italy’s national football team.
The announcement was made on Sunday, August 13, by the Italian Football Federation (FIGC). It said Mancini had informed them of his decision to step down “late on Saturday evening”.
His replacement is not yet known, but the federation said it “will announce the name of the new national coach in the coming days”, taking into account “the upcoming UEFA Euro 2024 qualification commitments”.
The statement read;
“Taking into account the important commitments of Euro 2024 qualifiers (on September 10 and 12 against North Macedonia and Ukraine), the FIGC will announce the name of the new national coach in the next few days.”
The 58-year-old former Manchester City and Inter Milan boss took charge of the Azzurri in May 2018 and led the side to 2020 European Championship glory at the expense of final hosts England at Wembley in July 2021.
