ROME: Roberto Mancini announced his shock resignation as coach of European champions Italy on Sunday less than a month before Euro 2024 qualifying resumes, having failed to qualify for last year's World Cup.

"Thus concludes a significant page in the history of the Azzurri," the FIGC added, recalling a memorable"Euro 2020 triumph in which a group of individuals became a team". His departure comes following recent appointments to the national coaching set-up including former Italy defender Andrea Barzagli and goalkeeping great Gianluigi Buffon.

Former Italy coach Antonio Conte, sacked in March by Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur, and ex-world champion Fabio Cannavaro, who has coached in China and Saudi Arabia, have also been suggested.
