Italy’s Interim Coach Demands Structural Overhaul

After Italy’s failure to qualify for the 2026 World Cup, interim coach Silvio Baldini accused the federation of mismanaging the national game and called for a full structural reform. He warned against unrealistic managerial targets and dismissed high‑profile names like Guardiola or Fabregas, insisting Italy needs solid, locally‑based coaches who can rebuild the team’s identity. Baldini’s remarks come as the Azzurri prepare to play Luxembourg and Greece, while the federation still searches for a permanent successor to Gennaro Gattuso. wlop.pl
