The Italian national football team will soon have a new head coach.

He will be Roberto Mancini, who is returning to the team's helm, reports journalist Fabrizio Romano.

It should be noted that the coaching role of the Italian national team was supposed to be taken over by Andrea Pirlo, but ultimately the negotiations broke down due to the former footballer's connections with Russian betting companies.

R. Mancini coached the Italian national team from 2018 to 2023 and became the European champion.
