Pioli Emerges as Top Candidate to Replace Spalletti After Italy's Shocking Defeat
Spalletti’s Sudden Exit Rocks Italian Football
Just when we thought international football couldn’t get more dramatic, Luciano Spalletti drops his resignation bomb after Italy’s humiliating 3-0 defeat to Norway. The timing - two days before a World Cup qualifier against Moldova - couldn’t be worse. As someone who’s analyzed Serie A for ten years, even I didn’t see this coming.
Why Pioli Makes Sense (Statistically Speaking)
According to Di Marzio’s reports, Stefano Pioli tops the shortlist to replace Spalletti. The former AC Milan manager currently plying his trade in Saudi Arabia presents an interesting statistical profile:
- Win percentage at Milan: 54% across 169 matches
- Tactical flexibility: Proven ability to switch between 4-2-3-1 and 4-4-2 systems
- Youth development: Nurtured talents like Rafael Leão and Theo Hernández
From my analytical perspective, Pioli’s pragmatic approach might be exactly what this disjointed Italian side needs. His Milan team showed remarkable defensive organization - conceding just 41 goals in their Scudetto-winning 2021⁄22 season.
The Norway Debacle: What Went Wrong?
Spalletti’s final match was a tactical nightmare:
| Statistic | Italy | Norway |
|---|---|---|
| Shots | 8 | 15 |
| xG | 0.7 | 2.3 |
| Pass Accuracy | 84% | 78% |
The numbers don’t lie - Italy were outplayed in every department. Having analyzed all of Spalletti’s matches since taking over, I’d argue the problems ran deeper than one bad result.
Can Pioli Fix This Mess Before Moldova?
The immediate challenge? A must-win qualifier in 48 hours. Pioli’s potential appointment raises several questions:
- Will he abandon Spalletti’s possession-heavy approach?
- How quickly can he implement his defensive structure?
- Is there enough time to assess player fitness properly?
My professional opinion? Even with limited preparation time, Pioli’s organizational skills could shore up Italy’s leaky defense. Whether that’s enough against Moldova remains to be seen.
This managerial shakeup comes at a critical juncture for Italian football. While Pioli isn’t without his critics, his track record suggests he might be the pragmatic choice Italy desperately needs.

Pioli lên ngôi: Thay Spalletti chỉ là chuyện nhỏ!
Sau thất bại ê chề 3-0 trước Na Uy, Spalletti ‘xách vali’ đi luôn, để lại đội tuyển Italy trong cảnh hỗn loạn. Nhưng mà các fan cứ bình tĩnh, vì Pioli đã sẵn sàng ‘dọn dẹp’ rồi!
Vì sao Pioli là lựa chọn số 1?
- Win rate 54% ở AC Milan - cao hơn cả tỷ lệ thành công của mì gói ăn liền!
- Phòng ngự siêu đỉnh: Mùa 2021⁄22 chỉ để lọt lưới 41 bàn - ít hơn số lần tôi đi trễ làm trong năm!
48 tiếng cuối cùng: Liệu Pioli có kịp ‘vá’ hàng phòng ngự rách nát của Italy trước Moldova không? Hay là sẽ lại một trận ‘đau tim’ nữa?
Các bạn nghĩ sao? Comment ngay nhé!
ইতালির নতুন কোচ পিওলি!
স্পাল্লেতি চলে যাওয়ার পর এখন সবাই পিওলির দিকে তাকিয়ে আছে। কিন্তু প্রশ্ন হলো, এই “পরিসংখ্যানগতভাবে উপযুক্ত” কোচ কি আসলেই ইতালিকে বাঁচাতে পারবে? নরওয়ের কাছে ৩-০ হারার পর তো মনে হচ্ছে ইতালির ডিফেন্সই সবচেয়ে বড় সমস্যা!
পিওলির ম্যাজিক?
মিলানে ৫৪% জয় হার আছে বলেই যে তিনি ইতালি টিমকে ঠিক করে দেবেন, তা কিন্তু নিশ্চিত না। বিশেষ করে যখন মোলদোভার বিপক্ষে ম্যাচ মাত্র ৪৮ ঘন্টা দূরে!
কমেন্টে জানান আপনার মতামত: পিওলি কি ইতালির জন্য সঠিক 선택, নাকি আরেকটি বড় ভুল?
ปิโอลี่มาแทน…แต่อิตาลีจะรอดมั้ย?
สเปลเล็ตติโยนผ้าเช็ดหน้าลาออกไปแล้ว หลังจากอิตาลีโดนนอร์เวย์ถล่ม 3-0! ตอนนี้ปิโอลี่ถูกเสนอชื่อเข้ามาแก้ปัญหา แต่ดูจากสถิติแล้ว…
54% ชนะที่มิลาน vs 0.7 xG ในเกมนอร์เวย์ - คณิตศาสตร์บอกว่ายังไงก็ต้องดีขึ้นแน่นอน!
แต่ปัญหาคือ…เหลือเวลาแค่ 48 ชั่วโมงก่อนเจอมอลโดวา! ปิโอลี่จะปรับระบบป้องกันได้ทันมั้ยนี่?
(แอบกระซิบ: ถ้าไม่รอดอีกคงต้องเรียกกูร์เตามาแน่ๆ) 555+

Spalletti Kabur, Pioli Siap Masuk?
Baru kalah telak 3-0 dari Norwegia, Spalletti langsung cabut. Padahal masih ada laga penting melawan Moldova dalam 2 hari! Sebagai analis, gw bingung: emang ganti pelatih dalam waktu sempit bisa bikin Italia bangkit?
Statistik Pioli Menjanjikan… Tapi
Dengan win rate 54% di AC Milan dan kemampuan taktik fleksibel, Pioli memang opsi logis. Tapi ingat, ini timnas bukan klub. Apalagi persiapannya cuma 48 jam!
Norwegia Jadi Mimpi Buruk
xG cuma 0.7 vs 2.3? Itu mah bukan sekedar kalah, tapi dihajar habis-habisan! Kalau begini terus, jangan harap lolos Piala Dunia.
Gimana menurut kalian? Beneran Pioli solusinya atau cari yang lain?
- 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.
