Roberto Mancini Compares Leaving Italy To 'Losing The Woman Of Your Life'
Mancini apologized after being rehired and said he will try to restore Italy’s national team after three years away.
- On Wednesday, Roberto Mancini returned as Italy coach, apologizing for abandoning the role three years ago for a Saudi Arabia contract. "It was completely my fault," the 61-year-old said.
- Mancini's return follows April resignations of federation president Gabriele Gravina and coach Gennaro Gattuso after Italy failed for a third straight time to qualify for the World Cup.
- Former Leicester and Roma coach Claudio Ranieri joined the federation as technical director, while Mancini expressed confidence in attacking options, saying, "I don't think we're in such a bad state."
- Mancini's first match back will be against Belgium in the Nations League on Sept. 25 at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, with France and Turkey also in the group.
- Ranieri suggested shifting focus from Italy's historic tactical devotion toward developing individual skills, emphasizing that making soccer schools more appealing to young Italians is a priority.
