Italian coach Roberto Mancini will lead the Italian national football team for the second time. The coach has already worked at the helm of Italy, with whom he won Euro 2020. This is reported by insider Fabrizio Romano, according to UNN.
Roberto Mancini has agreed to become the new head coach of the Italian national team. The new project will begin after President Malago stopped signing the contract with Pirlo due to his cooperation with Russian brands
Update
It recently became known that Spanish specialist Pep Guardiola refused to lead the Italian national team because he wants to dedicate time to his family. The Italian Football Federation is negotiating with Andrea Pirlo and has already reached a verbal agreement.
However, according to media reports, the Italian Football Federation refused to appoint Pirlo after criticism over his cooperation with the Russian bookmaker company Fonbet.
In his time, Pirlo, as a coach, led Juventus, with whom he won the Italian Cup and Super Cup, and also held the position of head coach of Sampdoria and the Turkish club Karagümrük.
In addition, this year Pirlo visited together with Marco Materazzi the Superfinal of the Russian Cup at the Luzhniki Stadium.
Roberto Mancini already led the Italian national team from 2018 to 2023. As head coach, Mancini won the 2020 European Championship and also twice became a bronze medalist in the Nations League.
In August 2023, Mancini left the national team due to disagreements with the President of the Italian Football Federation, Gabriele Gravina, regarding the formation of the team's coaching staff.
Mancini's last place of work was the Qatari club Al Sadd, which he led from 2025 to 2026.

Former Real Madrid head coach Zinedine Zidane has been confirmed as the new head coach of the French national team.
