Luciano Spalletti has been dismissed as the head coach of the Italy national football team amid disappointing World Cup qualification efforts, including a recent 3-0 defeat to Norway. With Italy struggling in Group I and at risk of missing the 2026 tournament, Spalletti's exit comes just before a crucial qualifier against Moldova. He expressed his disappointment at the decision during a press conference, emphasizing his commitment to the team and desire for improvement. The situation marks yet another setback for Italy, who last qualified for the World Cup in 2014.
I would have preferred to stay and do my job, especially when things aren't going well. However, if it's an exoneration, then I have to accept it.
I have always seen this role as a service to the homeland, and I want to help the future of the national team.
