Luciano Spalletti, recently dismissed from his role as Italy's manager, guided the team to a 2-0 victory over Moldova in their World Cup qualification match. The game took place at Stadio Citta del Tricolore, where Italy struggled initially but eventually found the net with goals from Giacomo Raspadori and Andrea Cambiaso. Despite the win, Italy's performance was lackluster, raising questions about their future, especially after their disappointing start in the group with a prior loss to Norway, who lead the group with 12 points.
Sacked Italy manager Luciano Spalletti bowed out with a victory after his side laboured to an uninspired 2-0 home win over Moldova in their World Cup qualification match on Monday.
Spalletti announced his own dismissal on Sunday following Italy's 3-0 loss in Norway in their opening group game on Friday, but took charge for one final time at the Stadio Citta del Tricolore.
Italy struggled early on before Raspadori put the hosts ahead five minutes before the break and Cambiaso doubled the lead five minutes after the interval but they failed to build on their two-goal cushion.
Norway, who won 1-0 in Estonia with Erling Haaland netting the winner, top Group I on 12 points from four games, while Italy are third with three points.
