The coach has surprisingly made a U-turn to football, after former Italy boss, Roberto Mancini announced his resignation form the National team just five days ago, leaving the space vacant, and Spalletti has now been announced as the man to take over the reins for Italy.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Spalletti’s contract will run through till July 2026, meaning he will coach the team through the Euro 2024 tournament and possibly the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the United States of America.

The Italian Football Federation (FIGC) said Spalletti would take charge from the start of next month.

“We welcome Spalletti. The national team needed a great coach and I’m very happy that he accepted,” FIGC president Gabriele Gravina said.

Gravina added; “His enthusiasm and his expertise will be fundamental for the challenges that await Italy in the coming months.”

Spalletti will be in charge of his first game for Italy when they play against North Macedonia in the Euro 2024 qualifiers on September 9, 2023.
