The 66-year-old Italian coach was officially dismissed! A 0-3 defeat to Norway has caused public anger and may miss the World Cup for three consecutive times

5:37am, 9 June 2025【Football】

On the evening of June 8, at the pre-qualifying press conference for the Italian national team, the 66-year-old team coach Spaletti confirmed that the Italian Football Association president has notified him that he will remove him from his position as head coach of the national team. The early morning of June 10 against Moldova will be the last game of Spaletti coaching Italy.

According to the report of the well-known journalist Dimazio, the decisive fuse of Spaletti's departure was the shameful defeat of Italy's 0-3 away defeat to Norway in the World Cup qualifiers a day ago. This loss may lead to Italy's missing the World Cup main match. After Spaletti left office, Saudi giants Riyadh won the victory coach Pioli, who is a favorite to replace Spaletti.

Born on March 7, 1959, Spaletti has coached many Serie A powerhouses including Sampdoria, Udinese, Rome, Inter Milan, Naples. He led Naples to the Serie A championship in the 2022-23 season.

In September 2023, Spaletti replaced Mancini and served as the head coach of the Italian national team. He has led the team 23 games so far, with a record of 11 wins, 6 draws and 6 losses. In the World Cup qualifiers in early June, the Italian team led by him lost 0-3 to Norway, and the prospect of advancement was cast in shadow.

Previously, Italy had missed the main tournament for two consecutive World Cups. If Norway beats this World Cup in the World Cup and eventually misses the US, Canada and Mexico World Cup, it will undoubtedly be a huge disaster for the Blues.
