Just two days after the Nazionale’s heartbreaking defeat to Bosnia-Herzegovina in the 2026 World Cup play-off final (a 1-1 draw followed by a 1-4 loss on penalties), Gabriele Gravina, the president of the Italian Football Federation (FIGC), announced his resignation on Thursday during an extraordinary meeting. This comes amid widespread criticism following Italy’s failure to qualify for the upcoming World Cup. Furthermore, national team coach Gennaro Gattuso is widely expected to be replaced shortly.
