Former Tuttosport director Vittorio Oreggia took to X (formerly Twitter) to express his view on the state of the Italian national team. Commenting on the lineups for the Nations League final, Oreggia stated: “I look at the lineups for the Nations League final. Spain`s bench players would be starters in the Italian national team. While Spalletti undoubtedly has his significant faults, the absolute lack of quality among the Azzurri players is below mediocrity.”
