Reports in Italy say Roberto Mancini is set to return as coach of the Italy national team. The update emerged on Tuesday, with La Gazzetta dello Sport and the ANSA news agency both pointing to comments attributed to FIGC president Giovanni Malagò.
According to those reports, the expected appointment was mentioned during a high-level federation meeting. While the available details remain limited, the story quickly drew attention because of Mancini's strong association with the national side and the significance of any coaching change at that level.
If confirmed, the move would bring a familiar figure back to one of the biggest jobs in Italian football. The reports suggest the federation is leaning toward restoring Mancini rather than moving in a different direction, although no fuller official explanation was included in the information available.
For Italy, the prospect of Roberto Mancini returning as national team coach would mark a notable development for the Azzurri. More clarity is likely once the FIGC formally addresses the situation and confirms the next step.
