Repubblica: Spalletti and the Azzurri squad didn’t get along. The team thought the tactics were too elaborate; didn’t agree with Nicolò Fagioli’s selection.

1. Clear as day if you looked at their body language

2. Spalletti is an average, tactically-limited coach. Then again, he had nothing to work with. This team had no proper playmaker, no proper centerforward.

3. I would be all for bringing in Allegri. Fine, people hate him, I understand why. But with his second spell at Juve, he was able to provide some stability to a largely broken team.

4. Funny the mention to Fagioli. When I and a few others here mentioned how disruptive it could be to bring him to Germany, a few Redditors raised their voice to point out that a coach must always pick by talent, not meritocracy.

   There you go.

5. I think it’s time for folks to come to terms with the fact that the Napoli Scudetto was lightning in a bottle. Classic broken clock situation…

6. You don’t say!

   I believe Spalletti lost Inter’s block, Scamacca and Pellegrini at least. Who’s gonna play?

7. Just do what Germany did. I mean the story is almost paralleled. Players disagreeing with coach’s tactics (Flick-Spalletti). Gets replaced by a young modern coach who actually plays entertaining football despite the type of players he has at his disposal (Nagelsmann-RDZ).

8. Spalletti is responsabile for this Euros failure, but the players boycotting him during some important games and not caring for the italian national team are a disgrace. Spalletti tactics might have been wrong, but they were playing like they didn’t care about the national team at all. Players are as to blame as the coach.

9. Only reason we won in 2021 was because of Vialli. They tried to bring in Buffon but that’s like trying to replace a Neapolitan pizza with dominos

10. Get this mediocre manager out of here. Watertrash

11. I could see Thiago Motta becoming our coach eventually, though not sure when and assuming he is successful with juve in the near future. Allegri, as others mentioned, would be another potential candidate that I wouldn’t mind.
