“We have asked for the dismissal and we hope that the League can concede Mancini for a few more days. It would be another dark page if Italy did not qualify “, having already missed the World Cup in 2018, said the president of the Federation (FIGC) on Rai Radio Uno.
The Italian European champions, forced to go through the play-offs after being overtaken by Switzerland in their qualifying group, will meet North Macedonia on March 24 in Palermo then, if successful, Portugal or Turkey March 29 away.
The Federation would like the postponement of the 30th day of Serie A scheduled for the weekend of March 19 and 20. “Clearly, if there were three or four extra days, it would be better,” Roberto Mancini said during a press conference at the end of January. “Otherwise the players will arrive on Sunday or Monday and we play on Thursday. The more time we have to prepare for matches, the better,” added the coach.
