The first choice of the FIGC for the post Mancini is Luciano Spalletti.

In all likelihood it will be the leader who brought the Scudetto back to Naples to lead the national team after the resignation of Roberto Mancini.

He was the first to be called for the blue coach's bench and contacts continue between the FIGC and the Certaldo coach for the definition of "a very complex agreement", according to FIGC sources. Spalletti would have said yes, but the crux remains the one-year clause after the conclusion of the relationship with Napoli. As for the penalty to be paid, the sources underline that the FIGC cannot intervene in this sense. In any case, we expect to arrive at a definition of the new coach not before the weekend.

A name that excites the Italians, many fans who are invading the social profiles of the Tuscan coach in these hours: «Now in the national team, mister, take us to the world cup», is one of the many comments. And again: "Italy called", "Good national mister".
