🚨 Breaking: Spalletti announces his sacking from the Azzurra | OneFootball

Luciano Spalletti has just announced his dismissal as Italian national team coach.

In the press conference prior to the match against Moldova, and after the 0-3 defeat against Norway in the World Cup qualifiers, the former Scudetto champion with Napoli has announced that the Italian federation has decided to fire him, and not a resignation as had been rumored in the media in the previous hours.

The defeat against Haaland's team has left Italy on the verge of being left out of the next tournament, which has accelerated the decision of the federation's directors, who want to avoid a third consecutive absence from the World Cup at all costs.

It is speculated that Claudio Ranieri, who recently left AS Roma, could be Spalletti's successor at the helm of the national team.

Spalletti's departure marks the end of an era in which he tried to rebuild the team after the disappointing elimination from the last EURO.
