Italy Considers Ancelotti and Guardiola for National Football Team Coach Position
Italy's football federation (FIGC) has approached Carlo Ancelotti and Pep Guardiola as candidates for the national team head coach position following Gennaro Gattuso's resignation after Italy failed to qualify for the World Cup. Technical director Paolo Maldini confirmed talks with both managers, noting Ancelotti's commitment to Brazil makes him unavailable. The FIGC aims to appoint a new coach soon but is willing to wait for their preferred candidate. Interim manager Silvio Baldini has led recent friendlies, with the Nations League campaign starting in September.
