The news agency reported that Malago announced to the Federal Council that Mancini will be the next head coach of the Nazionale. It is also expected that the FIGC president will soon announce that Ranieri has been appointed as technical director, as anticipated by Sky Sport in recent hours.
“I am talking with Roberto Mancini to make him the new head coach: we are just waiting for the signature,” assured Malago. With this, Mancini would end his experience in Saudi Arabia, which began in August 2023 when he unexpectedly left the Italy bench to accept the offer from the Saudi national team.
However, the adventure in Riyadh did not produce the desired results: in 21 matches, the coach collected nine wins, seven draws, and five defeats.
