The future of Luciano Spalletti as head coach of the Italy national team is now under serious threat, with a high-stakes meeting scheduled with Italian Football Federation (FIGC) president Gabriele Gravina on Tuesday.
Sources close to the federation confirm that the outcome of this meeting could determine whether Spalletti continues leading the Azzurri into the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. The pressure has intensified following recent underwhelming performances and growing concerns over the team’s direction.
Spalletti, who took over after Roberto Mancini’s departure, is facing increased scrutiny from within the federation and the Italian football community.
With Italy’s qualification hopes and long-term project hanging in the balance, Tuesday’s meeting may be decisive.
