The Italian Football Federation (FIGC) is currently facing uncertainty regarding the appointment of a new national team coach following the team's defeat in Bosnia. Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis has given Antonio Conte a quasi-ultimatum to decide whether he will take on the national team role. Meanwhile, Massimiliano Allegri, who could remain with AC Milan, is also in the mix for the position. As the situation evolves, two other candidates, Roberto Mancini and Claudio Ranieri, have emerged. While Mancini's name continues to be mentioned, Ranieri is viewed as a more suitable candidate for a technical director position rather than head coach due to his age. The FIGC is revisiting the idea of establishing a technical director role, similar to past configurations, with Ranieri potentially stepping in if he departs from AS Roma.
