Who then?

There is no good answer really.

To me you have Conte, Montella, Guidolin, Ancellotti that you know are not bad coaches. I doubt any of them accept the job though.

That leaves Allegri, Spalletti, and the usual others that leave you wanting more.

Then there is Andrea Mandorlini which I'm a little intrigued by.

The lack of a quality number 10 and of quality CBs for the future (once Barzagli retires) is really worrisome.

Could be. I got know idea about the future of this game, though. It has changed a lot.

 

[Trequartista]

pirlo leaving is more of a worry

Verratti will do the job alright, but Italy really needs to produce top quality trequartista and CBs once again.

 

[Hængebøffer]

But we're not talking about other big teams here, and this is the second World Cup in a row for Italy now coupled with the lowered status of the domestic league.

What do you exclude the Euroes?

 

[Mark]

16 clubs in A, new 2nd league with Serie A reserves. Do it new Prez!


oh, don't forget our 2 scudetti.

Who then?

I wouldn't mind Ancelotti for the next WC. For now Capello looks OK for the Euro after two years. Any young manager bringing new faces to the national team would be nice.

Did Italy ever had a non-Italian coach?

 

[Joe]

I just hope that Rugani, Romagnoli and Berardi type players live up to their hype.

Chiellini and Barzagli are getting old now and probably won't be at the next World Cup. Two strong CBs are a must. De Sciglio and Darmian are looking good. If Berardi continues to improve and develop, he could be Italy's wildcard alongside Verratti.

no

 

[Osman]

Best news is not even Prandelli resigning (honorable of him to do it quickly), but Abete resigned

 

[Badass J Elkann]

And you would finally fuck off for good.

I was here when we had the likes of zaccheroni and delneri you fool

 

[Mister]

Mancini

 

[Klin]

no

It's about time this changes.

What do you exclude the Euroes?

I wasn't all that impressed aside from the Germany game and maybe the Spain one in the group stage. The final was a joke and shouldn't even be looked at with half the Italian squad out injured.

 

[Hist]

Prandelli did well as Italy coach and I'd definitely prefer him to montella at juve. I don't understand how Italy could play so good against England then completely flop in the next two matches

 

[Badass J Elkann]

I support the cause of any manager who refuses to call up aquilani, abate, motta and montolivo from now on. otherwise fuck off

Mancini

now you mention it... fuck my life

 

[Hængebøffer]

I'm afraid the Euroes will become a joke like the World Cup, when they allow more teams in it. I think the World Cup has been a joke since with what we saw in 2002 and especially how Blatter acted after the final in 2006 (+ everything else).

Montolivo had great games with the Azzurri, good understudy for Verratti, Motta is decent, good understudy for De Rossi.

 

[kao_ray]

italy is just wank now

doesnt look like changing soon as the quality is looowwww

My first thought was exactly this but I think Italy has some nice players like Berardi, Gabbiadini, Guiseppe Rosi, Sansone, Perin and so on. I think Balotelli isn't good enough to count mainly on him upfront and Prandelli should have called other players with more creativity, pace and technique. Even players like Cerci and Candreva should be starters.

Unnecessary change of tactics
