Roberto Mancini remains the Italy coach. At least 99.9%. From his words, before leaving for Turkey where the Italian national team will face the hosts in a sort of friendly match, Mancini spoke about his future as follows: “I have talked to President Gravina these days, we are aligned on everything. We will talk about it again calmly, we will see what to improve ”.
Coach Mancini's words on his future
The Italian coach thus hinted at his intention to remain at the helm of the national team despite the lack of qualification for the World Cup in Qatar 2022. “New cycle? We have to start again, also thinking about different situations. It was I who forced the players to leave, if we can do something for the clubs we do it. It seems useless to me to keep players who have physical problems or who would have gone to the stands, we have already done so in other away games. Chelsea gave us Jorginho three days earlier, not letting him play in the league ”. Then, speaking of his future, he says again: “I'm still young, my goal was to win a European and a World Cup and for the World Cup we have to postpone a bit”.
Turkey-Italy, the probable formations
This is the possible formation for the match against Turkey. Donnarumma in goal; defensive line with De Sciglio, Acerbi, Chiellini and Biraghi; in the middle Cristante alla Jorginho with Pessina and Tonali on the sides; in attack trident Zaniolo-Scamacca-Raspadori. Six changes are allowed.
