5 candidates for Italian coaches: Mancini currently has the highest approval rating, De Rossi is second

June 10, "Milan Sports" analyzed five Italian national team coach candidates: Pioli, Mancini, De Rossi, Cannavaro and Gattuso. Currently, only Pioli has a contract. His contract with Riyadh Victory expires in 2026, and the remaining four are all idle. In the fan poll survey, Mancini was the most popular, with a 30% vote share.

Oslo's defeat, Spaletti's inevitable dismissal and Ranieri's unexpected refusal: these are three heavy blows encountered by the Italian Football Association, and they must now regain their momentum and select a new coach as soon as possible. The next match of the Blues is on September 5, facing Estonia in Bergamo. Although there are still three months left before this game, the Football Association hopes to send a signal as soon as possible: they are ready to quickly resolve the current crisis situation. Just like Ranieri's situation: after he made a preliminary statement to the new coach of the national team, he refused the Italian Football Association overnight because of his conversation with Friedkin.

Now the Italian Football Association is going to re-select coaches from scratch. Pioli is an inevitable assessment object. He now has a contract with Riyadh Victory and is also the target of Florence. In fact, before Ranieri, the Italian Football Association considered Pioli. The difficulty was that he signed a generous contract with the Saudi club. In addition, due to tax reasons, Pioli had to at least fulfill the contract until July 10. The third is that he had to negotiate a termination of the contract (there is a high compensation for unilateral termination). Zi Lily is willing to provide it with a contract that is longer-term and more rewarding than the national team. Is the Italian Football Association capable of competing with clubs with stronger financial resources? Pioli himself is very happy to take over the national team. After his experience in Saudi Arabia, he wants to prove himself again in the national team.

The other is Mancini, the former Blue Army coach recently admitted that he regretted "abandoning" Italy in that way. This is a signal that he is willing to return and he is eager to make up for his mistakes with his grades. With his honors, international experience, and experience with the Blues, he is a strong candidate. The only thing to observe is whether the scars left between the two sides that suddenly bid farewell in the summer of 2023 have healed. This is the main question.

The final candidate is the 2006 World Cup champions: De Rossi, Cannavaro and Gattuso. In response to these five candidates, Milan Sports launched an online vote: Who should become the new Italian coach? The results showed that Mancini's vote rate was the highest: 30.1%, followed by De Rossi 25.1%. The specific voting results are as follows:

Canavaro: 6.7%

De Rossi: 25.1%

Gattuso: 19.9%

Mancini: 30.1%

Pioli: 20.7%
