Italy's Managerial Dilemma: Pioli, Ranieri, and De Rossi in the Mix After Spalletti's Uncertain Future
Italy’s Managerial Crisis: By the Numbers
Let’s cut to the chase: Italy’s 0-3 loss to Norway wasn’t just a bad day at the office—it was a full-blown system failure. The data doesn’t lie. Expected goals (xG)? Abysmal. Defensive organization? Nonexistent. And now, according to Di Marzio’s latest report, the Italian FA is scrambling to find a replacement for Luciano Spalletti before their World Cup qualifiers spiral further out of control.
The Candidates: Who’s Left?
With Carlo Ancelotti and Massimiliano Allegri off the market, the shortlist boils down to three names:
- Stefano Pioli: The former Milan boss is the favorite, but here’s the kicker—he’s stuck in Saudi Arabia until July due to tax complications. Classic Italian bureaucracy.
- Claudio Ranieri: The ‘Tinkerman’ has a proven track record, but at 72, is he a stopgap or a long-term solution?
- Daniele De Rossi: The romantic choice. Zero senior managerial experience, but hey, if Julian Nagelsmann can do it…
Spalletti’s Last Stand?
Spalletti will reportedly meet with Italian FA president Gabriele Gravina on June 10th. The Molodova match might be his swan song unless he pulls off a miracle. But let’s be real: if he resigns, it’s an admission that his tactics—or lack thereof—aren’t cutting it at the international level.
My Take: Data Over Drama
Pioli’s win percentage at Milan (54%) trumps Ranieri’s recent form, but De Rossi’s intangibles (leadership, fan appeal) could sway the FA. Either way, Italy needs clarity—fast. Because right now, their World Cup hopes are hanging by a thread thinner than spaghetti.
Drop your predictions below: Is Pioli worth the wait, or should Italy gamble on De Rossi?

O Barco dos Técnicos Está Afundando!
A Itália tá tão perdida que até o Spalletti quer pular fora do barco! 😂 Entre os candidatos:
- Pioli: Bom técnico, mas preso na Arábia até julho - parece enredo de novela mexicana!
- Ranieri: O ‘Tinkerman’ voltando seria épico… se não fosse mais velho que o futebol moderno!
- De Rossi: Ídolo sem experiência? Já vimos esse filme com o Lampard… e não terminou bem!
E aí, torcedores? Quem vocês acham que vai afundar com o barco? ⚽💦
اٹلی کا مینیجر کرکٹ
کیا اٹلی کا اگلا ہیڈ کوچ پیولی ہوگا یا پھر رانییری؟ اور ڈی روسی کو بھی مت بھولیں! یہ تینوں ایک ایسی ٹیم کو سنبھالنے جا رہے ہیں جو ناروے کے خلاف 3-0 سے ہار کر مکمل طور پر بحران کا شکار ہو چکی ہے۔
ٹیکس اور ٹیکنیک
پیولی سعودی عرب میں ٹیکس کے مسائل میں پھنسا ہوا ہے - کلاسک اطالوی بوروکریسی! جبکہ 72 سالہ رانییری کو ‘ٹنکر مین’ کہا جاتا ہے، لیکن کیا وہ طویل مدتی حل دے پائیں گے؟
فیصلہ کرنا مشکل
ڈی روسی کے پاس تو کوئی تجربہ نہیں، مگر جولین نیجلسمین کی طرح وہ بھی کچھ کر دکھائیں گے؟ فیصلہ کرنا مشکل ہے، لیکن اٹلی کو جلدی سے کوئی حل تلاش کرنا ہوگا - ورنہ ان کی ورلڈ کپ کی امیدیں اسپتیٹی نوڈلز سے بھی زیادہ پتلی ہو جائیں گی!
آپ کیا سوچتے ہیں؟ پیولی انتظار کے قابل ہے یا پھر ڈی روسی پر جوئے بازی؟
গোলরক্ষক নেই, কোচও নেই!
ইতালির ফুটবল এখন হাসির খোরাক! নরওয়ের কাছে ০-৩ গোলে হারার পর স্পালেত্তি সাহেবের চেয়ারে আগুন। এখন তিন জন প্রার্থী:
১. পিওলি: সৌদিতে ট্যাক্স ফাঁদে আটকা (৫৪% জয়ের রেকর্ড), ২. ৭২ বছরের রানিয়েরি: দাদু কি পারবেন? ৩. ডি রসি: অভিজ্ঞতা শূন্য, কিন্তু ভক্তদের প্রেমে পড়া!
আমার বিশ্লেষণ
ডাটা বলছে পিওলি সেরা… কিন্তু ইতালিয়ান এফএ তো ‘রোমান্টিক’ সিদ্ধান্ত নিতে পাগল! বিশ্বকাপের যোগ্যতা এখন স্প্যাগেটির মতো পতনোন্মুখ।
মন্তব্যগুলো জানাও - কে হবে তোমার পছন্দ? নাকি বলবে ‘মামা, বাংলাদেশী কোচ নিয়োগ দাও!’ 😆
Так кого ж обираємо?🤔
Справжній італійський серіал – хто стане новим тренером після фіаско Спалетті? Дані кажуть самі за себе: xG – катастрофа, захист – відсутній. А тепер ще й ці кандидати…
Піолі – фаворит, але він у піщаній пастці (дякуючи італійській бюрократії). Раньєрі – досвід, але йому вже 72! Чи не надто пізно для довгострокових планів? А от Де Россі – це чиста романтика: нуль досвіду, але хто знає, може він стане новим Нагельсманном?
Що вибираєте: дані (Піолі), ностальгію (Раньєрі) чи емоції (Де Россі)? Пишіть у коментах – цікаво почути ваші прогнози! ⚽😄
When Data Meets Calcio Drama
Spalletti’s tactics had less structure than my desktop files! Now Italy’s FA is choosing between:
- Pioli: Stuck in Saudi tax purgatory (54% win rate can’t fix bureaucracy)
- Ranieri: 72 going on ‘last-minute sub’ energy
- De Rossi: Zero experience but all the passion - because who needs tactics when you have fan love?
My INTJ brain says Pioli’s stats win, but my Greek drama genes are betting on De Rossi’s ‘Odyssey’ moment. Either way, that World Cup thread’s thinner than my patience with bad xG!
