By the Numbers
Italy, who failed to qualify for the third consecutive World Cup, continues its search for a head coach. After Gennaro Gattuso's resignation in April, one of the first choices for the new head coach of the headless Azzurri was Real Madrid's successful manager Carlo Ancelotti.
The technical director of the Italian Football Federation, Paolo Maldini, confirmed in his statement on Thursday that they had contacted Ancelotti, a former player of the national team. However, the Italian manager rejected his country's offer.
Following Ancelotti's rejection of the offer, Italy is expected to turn its attention to other options such as Pep Guardiola. This development is considered a decision that came after the Brazilian Football Federation reached an agreement with Ancelotti.
