Roberto Mancini has officially been appointed Italy coach again, marking his return to the national team setup after three years. The announcement was made by FIGC President Giovanni Malagò, confirming a major change at the top of the Azzurri project.
Alongside Mancini’s return, Claudio Ranieri has been named technical director of Club Italia. The dual appointment gives Italy a new leadership structure, with Mancini taking charge on the touchline and Ranieri moving into an overseeing role within the federation’s football framework.
The news brings back a familiar figure to the Italy bench, with Mancini returning to a position he previously held. At the same time, Ranieri’s arrival as technical director adds another experienced name to the national setup as the federation reshapes its sporting leadership.
With the FIGC making both appointments official, attention will now turn to how Mancini and Ranieri work within their new roles and what the changes mean for Italy’s next phase on the international stage.
