Mancini named new Italy national team coach

Roberto Mancini has been reappointed as the head coach of Italy's national football team, tasked with reviving the squad after they failed to qualify for the last three World Cups. This decision comes amid internal tensions within the Italian Football Federation (FIGC), as Technical Director Roberto Maldini reportedly threatened to resign if Mancini was selected. Maldini has now been replaced by Claudio Ranieri. Mancini previously led Italy to victory at Euro 2020 but stepped down in 2023. The choice of Mancini over Antonio Conte, another former national team coach, reflects ongoing debates within the federation regarding leadership and strategy.
