Stefano Impallomeni recently shared his thoughts on the challenging situation regarding the head coach position for the Italy national team. According to the former player, both Roberto Mancini and Luciano Spalletti have “failed.”
Impallomeni mentioned Rino Gattuso as a potential candidate but commented that he “makes you turn up your nose” (is unappealing). Given the critical circumstances facing the Azzurri – with six crucial matches remaining followed by a playoff – Impallomeni stressed the essential need for a pragmatic approach. He highlighted the importance of selecting players who are currently in good form and possess the necessary drive and willingness.
“We are at the last resort,” Impallomeni stated emphatically. He concluded his analysis by suggesting that the ideal candidate would be someone already familiar with the national team environment, explicitly naming Roberto Mancini as his preferred choice. Impallomeni`s comments were originally made during an interview with Tmw Radio.
