Luciano Spalletti, the former head coach of the Italian national team and coach of Juventus, has commented on the national team's failure to qualify for the 2026 World Cup.
Idman.Biz reports that the Italian team lost to Bosnia and Herzegovina 1:4 in penalties in the last match of the World Cup qualifying round.
"Of course, those who qualified for the qualifying round returned to the team happier, and those who did not qualify for the qualifying round were disappointed. I know everyone and how much love and passion they put into it. I am saddened by what happened, but at the same time I hope that people will listen to the advice and start building the future correctly.
We have to ask ourselves whether it is really important to use talent. There are currently a lot of foreign owners in Italian football, and that's good, but we have to ask ourselves if they want to maximize the potential of Italian players. It is also right to look for the best players from other countries.
I think there are still many mothers raising talents like Baggio, Totti, Del Piero and Cannavaro, and we should be able to use this talent," said Spalletti.
It should be reminded that Spalletti was dismissed from the Italian national team after the first two matches of the 2026 World Cup qualifying round. Italy lost to Norway 3:0 and defeated Moldova 2:0. The position of head coach of the national team was then assigned to Gennaro Gattuso.
