After leading the team to miss the World Cup for two consecutive times, the departure of Italian coach Mancini has undoubtedly become the focus of attention from the outside world. On March 25, Beijing time, it was revealed from the well-known Italian media "Sky Sports" that Mancini may resign next week, and Evergrande's former coach Cannavaro is expected to become the new manager of the Italian men's football team.
Italian media revealed that although he was italy's meritorious manager who won the European Championship, Mancini will unlikely continue to lead the Italian team until 2026, after the humiliating failure to qualify for the World Cup, Mancini may choose to resign voluntarily, but he will at least lead the team to next week's friendly against Turkey.
And once Mancini resigns, cannavaro, the former captain of the Italian men's national team, will be the hottest candidate for his successor. Since the early termination of his contract with Guangzhou (Evergrande), Cannavaro has been idle at home. The Italian Football Association believes that in order to rebuild the glory of the 2006 World Cup, it is also a good choice to let the old players of the time come back to serve in the national team.
It is reported that lippi, the meritorious manager who helped the Italian men's football team win the 2006 World Cup, will play a matchmaking role for Cannavaro to take over the Italian men's football team. The Silver Fox may even join Cannavaro in the Italian squad and serve as technical director behind the scenes.
It is worth noting that when Evergrande first hired Cannavaro to coach, it was the recommendation of his mentor Lippi, but Ka Shuai's first coaching at Evergrande was not a success. I don't know if Cannavaro really joins hands with Lippi again and joins the Italian men's football team, whether they can really help the Blues realize their dream of returning to the World Cup after 4 years.
