Mancini and Ranieri to hold first Italy press conference tomorrow
Summary

Roberto Mancini and Claudio Ranieri, newly appointed coach and technical director of Italy, will hold their first press conference on July 29 at 18:00 CET. Giovanni Malagò confirmed their roles after a FIGC federal meeting. Mancini returns to lead the national team following his previous tenure that included a Euro 2020 championship and a World Cup qualifying failure. He resigned in August 2023 to coach the Saudi Arabia national team. A recent poll indicated over 80% of Italians believe Mancini is not suited for the job, a topic likely to be addressed in the press conference.
