New coach for Italy: post-Spalletti may already be certain. Here is the Italian dream after the World Cup
Two days ago, with the press conference in Germany before returning to Italy the morning after the elimination from the European Championship at the hands of Switzerland, Luciano Spalletti and Gabriele Gravina made it clear that there will be no shake-up. The project is moving forward, no ifs or buts.
At least until the World Cup, of course, the one in 2026, all to be conquered unfortunately and we know very well the fears there are in this aspect given the absence in the last two editions. Until then in any case there should be no shakeup. Then we will see how things go, but the feeling is that another profile may be sought. And several names have been circulating over the past weeks: from Allegri, for example, through Sarri and Pioli. People who have won on the bench and also a lot. And finally, the name of Ranieri, who has decided to leave soccer but who has also said that in case of a call from a national team he might also think about it. However, there is another name that could perhaps really suit the managers at Via Allegri.
Ancelotti on national team, all decided
Carlo Ancelotti has signed a contract until 2026 with Real Madrid. So two more years. A surprise announcement, this, since it has been talked in recent months and even with some insistence how the Italian could have become Brazil’s new technical commissioner. That has not been the case. However, in two years’ time, with games closed with Madrid (and with no possibility of further renewal here, we are sure), then for one of the most successful coaches in soccer history the doors of a national team could really open. The blue one.
This is by no means a hypothesis to be dismissed, far from it: it will be a trail to follow in the months ahead as 2026 begins to approach. It would almost be the closing of a magic circle for Ancelotti, who, after distributing trophies all over Europe with clubs, could have a go at the Azzurri. In our opinion, he even feels like it.
