Luciano Spalletti is set to conclude his tenure as head coach of the Italy national team after the upcoming World Cup qualifier against Moldova, following a disappointing 3-0 loss to Norway. He announced his departure during a press conference, revealing that FIGC President Gabriele Gravina informed him of his impending dismissal, but he will resign after the match. As Italy seeks a new head coach to navigate the challenging qualification for the 2026 World Cup, reports suggest that Stefano Pioli and Claudio Ranieri are the leading candidates for the position.
