FIGC President Giovanni Malagò insists he has ‘a Plan A, Plan B and Plan C’ for both the roles of new Italy coach and technical director. ‘I wouldn’t get too fossilized on certain names.’
A remarkable offer from Serie A clubs to help pay the salary of a top new Italy coach has impressed Minister for Sport Andrea Abodi. ‘We’ve gone from hostility to putting resources at our disposal.’
The dates and venues for most of Italy’s Nations League games have been confirmed, hosting Belgium in Rome on September 25 and Turkiye at the Stadio Dall’Ara in Bologna on October 5.
FIGC President Giovanni Malagò assures Italy will have its technical director ‘over the course of a week’ and then they can choose a new coach. ‘I haven’t spoken to any coaches so far.’
Italy have started the European Under-19 Championship in Wales on the right foot, defeating Serbia 2-0 thanks to goals from Mattia Liberali and Jamal Iddrissou.
Reports in Italy claim that Paolo Maldini is still not convinced about the FIGC’s offer to become Italy’s technical director, while Antonio Conte and Roberto Mancini remain the leading candidates for the coaching job.
Fabio Capello believes that now is the right time for Antonio Conte to return to the role of head coach of the Italy national team, and suggests that the damage was done for Roberto Mancini when he accepted a position in the Saudi Arabia set-up three years ago.
Capello: Who better to give Italy a bit of a shock than Conte?

Monday’s reports claim that several senior Italy national team squad members support the idea of a return for Roberto Mancini as head coach, and his candidacy will only be strengthened if Giovanni Malago wins the FIGC Presidential elections that are taking place today.
Il tecnico ha ufficializzato le dimissioni dopo aver vinto il titolo in Qatar. Ma il candidato favorito alla presidenza Figc non ha ancora scelto.

Italy Marcello Lippi has shared an anecdote from Italy’s triumphant 2006 World Cup campaign, recalling an incident involving alleged spies that led to the CT instructing his players to pull their shorts down and expose their backsides: ‘I was convinced there were photographers hiding behind the bushes’.
WTF is this? This sack of trash think he's funny? Fuori Infantino!!!
Multiple sources, including Gianluca Di Marzio, claim that Roberto Mancini is now the leading candidate to become the new Italy coach, replacing Silvio Baldini.
Interim Italy head coach Silvio Baldini appears to have given his endorsement to Antonio Conte, who remains linked with a move to return to the national team set-up following the resignation of Gennaro Gattuso earlier this year: ‘Whenever he didn’t win, he always came second’.
