Reports in Italy indicate that Roberto Mancini is set to become the new head coach of the Italy national team. The expected move follows a rapid change at the Italian Football Federation.
Paolo Maldini has left his role as technical director after just 16 days, according to the report. His short spell in the position ended before Mancini's anticipated return to the Italy job.
The developments suggest a swift reshaping of the national team structure, with the federation moving quickly from one high-profile figure to another. Mancini's expected appointment would place a familiar name back in charge of Italy.
Although full details of the arrangement were not outlined in the initial report, the main update is clear: Mancini appears ready to return as Italy boss after Maldini's brief exit from the federation setup.
