World Cup qualifiers: Spalletti exits with flat Italy victory, Haaland gives Norway boost
"I'm disappointed with the result. I don't give back to those who come after me a great national team, because we didn't play a great match tonight either."
"If you agree to coach the national team like I did, then you have to find the solution. You can't hide behind the fact that you have few players, you start to find alibis."
Luciano Spalletti's final match as Italy's coach ended in a lackluster victory against Moldova, following a troubling loss to Norway. While he clinched a win, Spalletti expressed disappointment in the team's performance and recognized that he is not leaving a strong foundation for his successor. Despite announcing his dismissal, he reflected on his tenure, acknowledging mistakes and the need for solutions. The national team is set to find a new coach, with Ranieri reportedly a frontrunner, while Spalletti hopes for better outcomes for the federation moving forward.
