Italy's failure to qualify for the 2026 World Cup after losing to Bosnia and Herzegovina in the play-offs has created an earthquake effect in the country's football. Following the departure of head coach Gennaro Gattuso, it has become known that the head of the team's delegation, Gianluigi Buffon, will also leave his post.
Idman.Biz reports with reference to "Sky Sport" that the legendary goalkeeper, who has been in this position since 2023, will remain in his post until June, and then say goodbye. The future of the president of the Italian Football Federation (FIGC), Gabriele Gravina, is also in question. Italian Sports Minister Andrea Abodi has already called for the resignation of the federation's leadership.
The main candidates to replace Gattuso are already known. Antonio Conte and Massimiliano Allegri, who currently coaches Milan, are at the top of the federation's list.
It should be noted that the Italian national team has set an anti-record by missing three consecutive World Cups (2018, 2022, 2026) for the first time in its history.
