Michael Criscitiellodirector of Sportitalia, spoke about Luciano Spalletti’s Italy’s disappointing path to Euro 2024: “We are truly embarrassing, as a system you are not understanding anything and we cannot go on like this. Gabriele Gravina two days after the embarrassing situation in front of the world did not think to say they will fire me or I will try to resolve the matter.
He only and exclusively thought about saving his seat, that is, to say what I do to stay. I will not call the assembly in 2025 but I will call it in the first week of November 2024, which from a political point of view Gravina has done a brilliant, intelligent thing. Because Gravina is an intelligent and pleasant person, but we will continue to challenge him on what he will do wrong as president of the federation. Gravina played a ridiculous European Championship, he gave the Coverciano weeks to Mancini and threw them in his face two weeks later. He chose Spalletti and he made a mistake in this choice of coach. The worst of the worst coaches is Spalletti, presumptuous and arrogant after the Scudetto with Napoli. In this European Championship he didn’t guess a formation and a substitution. After Spain he didn’t guess a conference”.
