Andrea Pirlo on Verge of Becoming New Italy Coach Amidst FIGC Uncertainty, Leaving Roberto Mancini Fuming - Report
Italy's football federation, the FIGC, is set to appoint Andrea Pirlo as the new national team coach, despite not being the preferred choice of President Giovanni Malagò. According to reports, Pirlo's appointment has been decided by new technical director Paolo Maldini and his advisor Leonardo, and is expected to be officially announced in the coming days.
The decision has reportedly upset Roberto Mancini, who was Malagò's preferred candidate and had been hoping for a second stint as Italy coach. Mancini is said to feel abandoned by the federation and is unhappy with the decision.
Pirlo, a former midfielder for Milan and Juventus, is set to take the reins as Italy coach, with Maldini and Leonardo having the final say in the appointment. The move has raised some doubts among FIGC components, but the decision is expected to be approved by Malagò.
