After such a disastrous fall, there is no getting back up: the reasons why the coach should resign
He spoke of a result that was “not so scandalous”, for one of the worst fools in our history. He took responsibility for the defeat, but up to a certain point, because making a thousand excuses he never admitted his mistakes. He did not utter the only words that Italy football expected from him: “I resign”. No, after the debacle with Switzerland Luciano Spalletti it doesn’t leave, rather it doubles. We’ll see what he says President Gravinabut the technical commissioner doesn’t seem to have any intention at all to step asidealready talks about the future, about directions, about time to build. When instead it is the first responsible of this failurethen all the others will come.
There will be time for analysis on the derelitto soccer Italiana dying movement, submerged in debt, which no longer produces talent. All true. But it could and should have been done do much betterwith a national team that is decidedly better than recent precedents, which is perhaps not worth the first four d’Europabut he had to at least enter the prime otto. Let’s not kid ourselves. With all the mediocrity of this Italy, one cannot think that it was not anyway stronger than Switzerland who hit us with the ball. That Church was worth less than NdoyeThat Barella was less strong than Freulerthat with Sticks & Co. it was not possible to put together a more organized defense than that of Rodriguez and Schar. It is right within the limits of the individuality (we don’t have any of Mbappè, Musiala or Bellingham in Italy and we won’t have any for a while) that you can see the coach’s hand. And Italy simply it wasn’t a teamit was nothing.

Italy eliminated from the European Championships, the players go under the fans’ section and are rejected: “Go away”
Here Spalletti comes in, who despite a disastrous general situation is perhaps the principal guilty of this defeat. Because the national team of Euro 2024 was worse than Italy really is. After months of parolereprimands, decaloguesfootball and almost moral lessons, the facts are embarassing. She hasn’t been seen in these two weeks an’ideaa game identity. Four formations different in four games, players placed randomly on the field, almost always out of role. The impression was that of a team that had arrived completely unprepared at the big appointment: a rose built to play three in defense (preferred form by the players themselves) and then proposed again with four, the various El Shaarawy, Raspadori, Fagioli, Mancini, thrown onto the pitch bulkPrinciples of relational football (the one preached by Spalletti) applied to a team that is often and willingly defensive. Total improvisation. In short, a coach in confusion. And even the footballers have appeared disoriented. He was missed – and perhaps this is the most serious aspect unsettling of everyone – even him spiritthe legs (team always under pace) and above all the testaa minimum of a blue flame, which we were all convinced would blaze out after the miracle of Zaccagni at the end of the game against the Croatia. And instead she never turned on.

“Our defense like Biden”, “the Tuscans have devastated this country”: the reactions to Italy’s elimination at the European Championships
The coach cannot but be held responsible for all this, as he has failed in every respect. And all the mitigating factors possible (the modesty of the human material, the little time available, having caught the team on the run) vanish in the face of epochal fool remedied against Switzerland. There is no point even denying the choice. When Mancini ran away in ArabiaSpalletti seemed the only solution possible. Perhaps it would have been better to return Conteevidently more suited to the role of technical commissioner, but it’s too easy to judge in hindsight. At the time we were all enthusiastic about Spalletti. We should simply admit that it did not work.
Today, not tomorrow, immediately, Spalletti must resign. And not just for her faults and to demonstrate that she has a shred of dignitywhich in the world of football has always been recognized. But why, even if we wanted to, after a defeat like that there is no futureFootball teaches us that after such a disastrous fall you can’t get up. In front of us we have the path of World Cup qualificationthat we cannot fail for the third time in a row (and after what we saw in these European Championships it will be anything but obvious). At the first defeat, at the first draw, they would rise grumblesinside and outside to a group which must be reset for the umpteenth time. It is the same mistake made with Mancini, who was not fired after the disaster with Macedonia and he abandoned us last summer in a lot of trouble, the truth original sin of the disastrous Euro 2024 campaign. Repeat it same mistake would be unforgivable. Unfortunately, Spalletti’s cycle already seems to be over. It never started.
