Roberto Mancini has stepped down as the head coach of the Italian national football team after a mixed tenure. Mancini was appointed in May 2018 and led the team to a runner-up finish in the 2019 UEFA Nations League, but his tenure was marred by some disappointing results.

Mancini had a difficult task ahead of him when he was appointed as the head coach of the Italian national team. The team had failed to qualify for the 2018 World Cup, and Mancini was tasked with restoring Italy to its former glory. He began his tenure with a series of wins, including a 3-1 victory over Poland in his first match in charge.

However, his tenure was not without its disappointments. Italy failed to qualify for the 2020 European Championship, and they were eliminated from the 2020 Nations League after finishing third in their group. These results were seen as a major disappointment for a team that had been expected to challenge for the title.

Despite these mixed results, Mancini was praised for his work with the team. He was credited with bringing a sense of stability to the team and instilling a sense of pride in the players. He also brought in some young players who have gone on to become key members of the squad.

Mancini’s departure has left many fans of the Italian national team feeling disappointed. He had done much to restore the team’s fortunes, and many had hoped that he would be able to lead them to success in the future. However, his tenure has come to an end, and it remains to be seen who will take over as the head coach of the Italian national team.
