Italy's Manager Crisis: Pioli, Ranieri, and De Rossi Emerge as Top Contenders After Spalletti's Uncertain Future

Italy’s Managerial Meltdown: A Data-Driven Analysis
Another international break, another Italian crisis. The Azzurri’s 0-3 thrashing by Norway has sent shockwaves through Italian football, and frankly, the numbers make for grim reading. xG? Abysmal. Defensive organization? Nonexistent. As someone who analyzes football for a living, I can tell you this isn’t just a bad day at the office - it’s systemic failure.
The Spalletti Conundrum
Luciano Spalletti will meet with Italian FA president Gabriele Gravina on June 10th, but let’s be honest - that’s just protocol. When your team concedes three goals to Norway (no offense to Haaland & co.), the writing’s usually on the wall. My sources suggest Spalletti might even jump before he’s pushed.
Key Stat: Italy has won just 2 of their last 5 competitive matches under Spalletti. For a nation that prides itself on defensive solidity, they’ve kept only one clean sheet in that period.
The Contender Analysis
Here’s where it gets interesting. With Ancelotti and Allegri off the market (typical Italian timing), the FA is considering:
- Stefano Pioli - The former Milan boss plays progressive football but has a glaring problem: he’s currently stuck in Saudi Arabia due to tax issues until July. Great timing, lads.
- Claudio Ranieri - The Tinkerman could provide short-term stability, but at 72, is this really a long-term solution?
- Daniele De Rossi - The romantic choice. Did well at Roma but managing a national team crisis is different from club football.
What Italy Really Needs
The Azzurri don’t just need a new manager - they need an identity. Since winning Euro 2020 (played in 2021 because…well, you know), they’ve missed two World Cups and are now struggling to qualify again. My analytics show their pressing stats have dropped 23% compared to Euro 2020 levels.
As we await Tuesday’s meeting, one thing’s clear: whoever takes over inherits not just a team, but a national footballing identity crisis. And unless they address the systemic issues behind Italy’s decline, we might be having this same conversation again in two years.

Italia Lagi Krisis Lagi!
Setelah kekalahan 0-3 dari Norwegia, timnas Italia benar-benar kacau balau. Spalletti sepertinya sudah siap-siap angkat kaki, dan siapa penggantinya? Pioli yang terjebak masalah pajak di Arab Saudi, Ranieri yang usianya sudah 72 tahun, atau De Rossi yang belum pernah latih timnas?
Statistik Menyedihkan: Cuma 2 menang dari 5 laga terakhir! Defensinya bolong-bolong kayak keju Swiss.
Menurut kalian, siapa yang paling cocok selamatkan Italia? Atau jangan-jangan… mereka butuh keajaiban Euro 2020 lagi? 😂

Итальянский бардак в стиле кальчо
Норвегия обыграла Италию 3:0? Серьёзно? Даже мой алгоритм предсказаний впал в депрессию! 🤯
Три спасителя или три проблемы?
- Пиоли - гений тактики… который сейчас разбирается с налоговой в Саудовской Аравии. Идеальный момент для найма!
- Раниери - в 72 года он точно переживёт этот стресс?
- Де Росси - романтичный выбор, но хватит ли ему опыта для такого бардака?
Как говорил мой дед: «Когда тонешь — хватаешься за соломинку». Но тут Италия хватается сразу за три! 😂
Кто по-вашему реально сможет спасти Скуадру Адзурру? Или уже пора вызывать экзорциста?

ตกต่ำกว่าโนรเวย์อีกแล้ว!
ดูสถิติแล้วอยากร้องไห้! อิตาลีเพิ่งโดนโนรเวย์ยำ 3-0 แถมคลีนชีทก็แทบไม่มี… สปัลเล็ตติเตรียมเก็บกระเป๋าแน่นอน
3 ตัวเลือกที่เหมือนโดนแกล้ง
- ปิโอลี - ติดคดีภาษีในซาอุจนเดือนกรกฎาคม แทงค์เดียวถูกเวลาจริงๆ
- รานิเอริ - อายุ 72 ปีแล้วจะมาลุยเวิลด์คัพเหรอ?
- เด รอสซี - น้องใหม่ไฟแรงแต่จะรับมือวิกฤติระดับชาติได้มั้ย?
สรุปคือทีมชาติอิตาลีตอนนี้เหมือนเรือรั่วนะครับทุกคน #ผู้สื่อข่าวถามต่อ

The Azzurri’s Managerial Lottery
Another day, another Italian manager crisis! After Norway handed them a humiliating 0-3 defeat, Spalletti’s exit seems inevitable. But who’s next?
The Contenders:
- Pioli – Currently stuck in Saudi Arabia (tax issues, classic).
- Ranieri – The Tinkerman at 72? Nostalgia isn’t a tactic.
- De Rossi – Great at Roma, but can he fix this mess?
Italy doesn’t just need a manager—it needs a miracle. Or at least a decent xG. What’s your pick, folks? Comment below! ⚽😂

이탈리아 감독 추리게임 시작!
노르웨이에게 0-3으로 발린 이탈리아, 이제 감독님들도 ‘탈출’ 모드인가요? 스팔레티 감독은 회의실로 향하지만… 이미 짐 싸는 소리가 들리는 것 같네요. (통계적으로 확실함)
후보 분석
- 피올리: 사우디에서 탈출하면 바로 합류 가능 (세금 문제는… 음…)
- 라니에리: 72세의 ‘임시방편’이 진짜 해결책일까요?
- 데 로시: 로마에서 잘했지만 국가대표는 다른 이야기죠!
결론: 이탈리아는 새 감독보다 ‘정체성’이 필요해요. 유로2020 우승 후 계속 추락 중인데… 이대로라면 다음 월드컵도 글쎄요? (눈물)
여러분의 예상 승자는? 댓글로 폭발시켜주세요!

이탈리아 감독 위기, 3명의 ‘용감한’ 도전자
스팔레티 감독의 미래가 흔들리는 가운데, 이탈리아 축구협회는 세 명의 후보를 고민 중이라고 합니다. 하지만 정말 이들이 해결사일까요?
- 피올리: 사우디에 갇혀 7월까지 돌아오지 못한다고요? 타이밍 참…
- 라니에리: 72세의 ‘틴커맨’이 장기적인 해결책? 아마도 아닐 거예요.
- 데 로시: 로마에서 잘했지만 국가대표팀은 완전히 다른 이야기죠.
이탈리아는 단지 새로운 감독이 아니라 정체성이 필요합니다. 유로 2020 우승 이후 두 번의 월드컵을 놓쳤는데, 이번에는 어떻게 될까요?
여러분은 누구를 선택하시겠어요? 댓글로 의견 나눠요! ⚽😄
- Loris Karius to Extend Stay at Schalke 04 as First-Choice Goalkeeper – A Calculated Gamble or Desperate Measure?Schalke 04's decision to extend Loris Karius' contract and install him as their first-choice goalkeeper raises eyebrows. The former Liverpool man, once infamous for his Champions League blunder, now faces the unenviable task of steadying a ship that leaked 62 goals last season. With financial constraints forcing them to retain backup Marius Schubert, we analyse whether this is a tactical masterstroke or a budgetary compromise in disguise.
- Loris Karius Extends Stay at Schalke 04 Until 2027: Can the Redemption Arc Continue?Schalke 04 has officially announced the contract extension of goalkeeper Loris Karius until 2027, with the German shot-stopper set to wear the coveted No.1 shirt in the upcoming Bundesliga 2 season. After joining the Royal Blues last winter, Karius made four appearances before a March injury cut his campaign short. Club officials praise his professionalism during recovery, while the player vows to "win back trust" through performances. We analyze whether this marks a true career revival for the former Liverpool man best known for his 2018 Champions League final mishap.
