Race for Italy coach, Antonio Conte overtakes Mancini

'Me, Italy coach? I'm focused on Milan and I want to stay here for a long time' - this is what Massimiliano Allegri said at the press conference on the eve of the superchallenge with Napoli when asked about the possibility of taking over the management of the Italian national team after Gennaro Gattuso. An even more categorical negative answer was given by Gian Piero Gasperini when asked the same question.

At this point in the race, it seems that Antonio Conte remains, who would not mind at all attempting a second adventure on the Italian bench after the one in 2014-2016 and a European Championship that ended in the quarterfinals with the penalty shootout against Germany.

Conte's contract with Napoli expires in June 2027 and his relations with president De Laurentiis are good; in the event of a farewell after a title won at the first attempt, the head of the Neapolitan club would not oppose his departure, so there will be no Spalletti-bis.

In the race for the presidency of the Italian Football Federation, De Laurentiis himself immediately publicly came out in favor of Giovanni Malagò: a scenario that could pave the way for Conte to take over the Italian national team.

Conte is currently thinking about Napoli, but the idea of ​​returning to lead the Italian national team excites him quite a bit. Meanwhile, the odds are falling for another name in the running for this position, Roberto Mancini, who declared Italy European champions and who enjoys the support of   Malagò and Minister Abodi. Simone Inzaghi is the most distant. On June 22, elections will be held for Gravina's successor at the head of the FIGC and it will be the new president who will choose the new coach of Italy.
