Yes! total youth movement! Like Germany did in the mid 2000s, like France is doing now!

1Million % it's the only logical move let them become the team they are at a higher level in the next euros and by the next world cup they should be firing on all cylinders

Italy still have a talented pool of players. The U21 Azzurrini looked really good last year.

This was probably last big match for Pirlo? If so then it really sucks.

Hopefully Juve gives him a champions league before he retires completely

 

[Dostoevsky]

No point in doing that if U21 players are average.

kinda reminds me of 2010, I wont forget the english commentator listing the name of the 'older' italian players and saying that their international careers have now expired following the defeat to slovakia

The so called "these guys" can only do what the manager tells them to do.

Mancini, Allegri, Spalletti, and Zaccheroni are the favourites to become the new Azzurri manager. Conte and Ancelotti will not be candidates.

My goodness…

It's definitely going to be Mancini.

Prandelli is the best man for Italy, he should reconsider his resignation, apart from Costa Rica game I don't think his much to blame for the exit. This man's been through a lot in life and it's really sad to see the media and fans want his head. Its a sad sad day. Forza Prandelli, wish him all the best.

Italy won u21 euro 5 times in the 90s and early 00s and that success transferred to the Azzurri. the current u21 Azzurrini isn't anything near that successful, the u19 had even worse results. and then there is also poor performance by Italian clubs in the Uefa Youth league(u19). I think Italy need to put a lot more work into the youth sides.

Diego Godín: "Suarez didn't even play against Italy".

They were in the final last year.
