The Italian team was a huge disappointment. |
Many politicians have publicly called for President Gabriele Gravina to resign, viewing it as a necessary step to rebuild Italian football. Lega, Italy's second-largest ruling party, expressed outrage: "Eliminated once again, Italy has yet to qualify for the World Cup. This is an unacceptable disgrace. Italian football needs to be rebuilt from scratch, and that must begin with Gravina's resignation."
However, the head of the Italian Football Federation has no intention of stepping down. He said the Federation's Executive Board will meet next week to assess the situation. "I understand the calls for my resignation, but according to the regulations, the decision rests with the Executive Board," Gravina emphasized.
Gravina acknowledged personal responsibility for the failure and described Italian football as facing a major crisis requiring a comprehensive overhaul. However, he also argued that the problem lies not only with the Federation, but also with the leagues and the club system, demanding a more thorough review.
In the early hours of April 1st, Italy's defeat to Bosnia on penalties officially eliminated them from the World Cup for the third consecutive time and immediately became the focus of global media attention. After 120 minutes, the two teams drew 1-1, leaving behind, as people often call it, a painful memory for the Italian national team.
From a powerhouse that had won the World Cup four times, Italy is now seen as a prime example of decline. And the most worrying thing for Italy right now is that no one sees a path for them to truly return to their former glory.
