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.
