La Gazzetta dello Sport writes that Antonio Conte would be the ideal candidate for the bench of the Italy national football team, provided he accepts a four-year project, with the aim of returning Italy to the 2030 FIFA World Cup.<\/p>\n
Conte is expected to leave Naples after two seasons, while his last game at the “Stadio Maradona” is expected to be on Sunday against Udinese.<\/p>\n
The Napoli coach is considered one of the main candidates. to take charge of the Italian national team, returning to Coverciano after the first period from 2014 to 2016.<\/p>\n
The Italian national team in Conte’s time was not considered very talented, but he managed to send the team to the quarter-finals of UEFA Euro 2016, where the Azzurri were eliminated by the Germany national football team on penalties.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe used the national team as fuel. At such a sad moment, it is difficult to find a better figure for another phase of reconstruction”, writes Gazzetta.<\/p>\n
The Italian medium adds that Pep Guardiola would bring great enthusiasm, but his style of play requires daily work with the team and would probably not be as effective in Coverciano.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Roberto Mancini won the European Championship in 2021, but according to the newspaper, that success faded with leaving for Saudi Arabia in the summer of 2023.<\/p>\n
According to Gazzetta, the doors should be wide open for a Conte return, but only if he does not stop at UEFA Euro 2028 and sets his sights on Italy’s return to the 2030 World Cup, ending the cycle of failing to qualify for football’s biggest tournament.<\/p>\n
Conte’s career speaks for itself, as do the results. as well as for loyalty to clubs. The only team where he stayed for more than two years was Juventus between 2011 and 2014. After that, his experiences with Italy, Chelsea, Inter Milan, Tottenham Hotspur and Napoli lasted just two seasons each.<\/p>\n
“Italy cannot afford a short-term project, but it needs Conte to commit for four years. The objective is gigantic and, if achieved, will go down in history: Italy’s return to the Cup “In that case, it would look like winning the World Cup itself. Conte 2030 would bring benefits to everyone, including himself. If he returns Italy to where it once belonged, he will be remembered as the father of the football nation.”<\/p>\n
