Italy coach Roberto Mancini has resigned on Sunday August 13, ending his tenure with the national team that included a European Championship title in 2021 but also a failed qualification for last year’s World Cup.
The Italian Soccer Federation gave a short declaration saying that Mancini communicated his renunciation to them, adding that a new coach would be named in the next few days.
The Federation doesn’t have a lot of time with Euro 2024 qualifying matches against North Macedonia and Ukraine booked for September 10 and 12, respectively.
Mancini assumed responsibility for the team in 2018 after they failed to qualify for the World Cup, having beforehand not missed a World Cup finals in 1958.

He led Italy to a successful win at the European Title in 2021, but the team again failed to qualify for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
In June, Italy claimed third place at the Nations League finals under Mancini.
“A significant page in the history of the Azzurri, which began in May 2018 and ended with the 2023 Nations League Finals, comes to an end,” the FIGC said in a statement.
