Cicero 5,266 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 20 minutes ago, Batard said: I’d be more concerned that every club Gattuso has managed has gone bust. And Milan’s Chinese invester seems about as credible as Gattuso’s managerial record. This is the same Gattuso that got turned down for Hamilton Accies I’d be curious to see if Conte returns if he leaves at the end of this season. Which I actually think is more than likely. No way he manages another Italian club other than Juve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirBalon 2,692 Posted July 9, 2018 Author Share Posted July 9, 2018 These things can happen and there's also the European Championhips which is also international football in between and in that time Italy have reached a final and done ok in the others.

A nation as big and respected in the national game as Italy to not reach a knockout stage of the tournament in over a decade is surprising enough.

It is kind of surprising considering how competitive they've always been even when they've gone through thinner generations of quality footballers throughout the decades. But in truth they've needed restructuring as Spain, Germany and England have done and have been living in denial over it and pining for their national identity in football... Once again the dissent by those that want change has been muted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoRoss 800 Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Mancini signs a new deal until the 2026 World Cup. Obviously still to lead them at a tournament, but has brought about a great improvement in the team and a much more youthful squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
