Italian football is on the verge of making some significant personnel decisions. Roberto Manchini, who brought glory to the “Squadra Azzurra” during Euro 2020, has officially expressed his willingness to return to the national team. It’s worth noting that Manchini is willing to make financial concessions, accepting a salary of around 2 million euros per year. This amount seems like a symbolic gesture rather than a realistic valuation for a coach of his level.
According to insider Nicolo Skira, the key factor in this situation isn’t the contract itself, but rather the challenge and the opportunity to complete what has been started. After working in Saudi Arabia, Manchini clearly wants to start over professionally. Returning to Italy will allow him to regain his reputation as one of the most successful coaches in the history of the FIGC.
However, the final decision lies with the new leadership of the Italian Football Federation. The elected president will have a difficult but attractive task ahead: on one hand, he has experience as a coach with a championship mentality; on the other hand, he needs to develop a long-term strategy for the development of young players. Manchini’s financial willingness to accept such a low salary gives the federation the freedom to allocate funds to infrastructure, scouting, and academies.
In terms of tactics, Manchini’s return could lead to a more flexible 4-3-3 formation, with an emphasis on possession, a strong defensive line, and aggressive pressing. Given the current shortage of players at the defensive position and the need for fresh leaders in the attacking position, Manchini will have to carry out significant scouting efforts. But if the FIGC approves his candidacy, Manchini could become a mentor who can bring the team together again and restore the “Squadra Azzurra” to its status as one of Europe’s elite teams.
We will keep an eye on the developments in this situation.
