The Italy national football team will have solid reinforcements in the staff.

Legendary "azzurri" player Paolo Maldini agreed to become the technical director.

Meanwhile, Leonardo will become the new advisor.

The Italy national team still needs to announce the new head coach, as Gennaro Gattuso was dismissed.

The Italians have missed the World Cup for the third consecutive time, and changes were inevitable.
