Former Italian national team coach Roberto Mancini is set to make a dramatic return to the role he held from 2018 to 2023. The news comes after Italy's disappointing failure to qualify for the 2026 World Cup, a tournament that was supposed to be a homecoming for the Azzurri. Mancini's tenure was marked by a resurgence in Italian football, culminating in a 2021 European Championship final appearance. Now, with the team in need of a revamp, Mancini will look to rekindle the magic that made Italy a force to be reckoned with under his leadership.
Mancini coached the national side in 2018-2023 and returns to the job with Italy having missed the World Cup.
