In the event of Gennaro Gattuso's dismissal, Napoli's head coach Antonio Conte and Milan's coach Massimiliano Allegri are being considered as candidates for the position of coach of the Italian national team.
According to Idman.Biz, referring to Sky Sport Italia, the famous coach Roberto Mancini is also a candidate.
Conte's contract with Napoli runs until June 30, 2027, and club president Aurelio De Laurentiis is determined to continue working with him. If the Rossoneri qualify for the Champions League, Allegri's contract with Milan will be extended by one year. Both coaches will only agree to lead the national team with a long-term project and clear, common plans. However, it will not be easy to terminate their contracts with their clubs.
Roberto Mancini, who coaches Qatar's Al-Sadd, is ready to return to the national team, which he managed from 2018 to 2023, and terminating his contract with the club will not be a problem.
The Italian national team lost to Bosnia and Herzegovina (1:1, 1:4 on penalties) in the play-off final for a ticket to the 2026 World Cup.
