Mancini named new Italy national team coach
Roberto Mancini has been named the head coach of Italy’s national team for a second time, tasked with revitalising the Azzurri who have missed out on the last three World Cups, FIGC president Giovanni Malago said Tuesday.
nTechnical director Roberto Maldini, who reportedly threatened to resign if Mancini was appointed, has been replaced by Claudio Ranieri.
n“Today we have a new coach and a new technical director,” Malago told reporters, announcing another press conference with Mancini and Ranieri on Wednesday.
nThe 61-year-old Mancini was previously Italy boss from 2018 until 2023, leading them to the Euro 2020 title.
nHe has been preferred to another ex-national team coach in Antonio Conte.
nMaldini had also apparently said he would resign if Conte was chosen, reportedly wanting Brazil-born former Italy midfielder Thiago Motta to be given the job.
