By adminThe Serie A has not started yet in the new season, but a nuclear bomb has been dropped on the Apennines Peninsula.
On August 14, without warning, Italian coach Mancini announced his resignation. At this time, it was only 10 days before he was appointed as the general manager of national teams at all levels.
During his five-year and three-month tenure, Mancini also experienced two kinds of life: peak and low: in the first half of the coaching chapter, he led the army of blue shirts, who was in vain, as a World Cup audience, he won the European Cup at one stroke and staged the “Renaissance”; However, in the second half, the European Union and the European and American Cup lost one after another, and the winner’s aura was no longer available. He missed the Qatar World Cup, it has become a black spot that Mancini cannot argue.
However, in any case, as an Italian coach who is hard to meet in recent years, Mancini, who has deeply branded the national team, is already a past. The blue shirts army, which was at great risk in the European preliminary match and lacked the top star support, was destined to pay for this sudden personnel earthquake.
Mancini.
The heart is gone, I don’t want to wear it anymore
Mancini’s resignation was a surprise attack that had never been exercised before.
On August 4, the Italian Football Association held a meeting in Rome to change the management system of national names at all levels. Mancini was further empowered in addition to the official position of coach of the national team, responsible for the Technical Selection of U21 and U20 national youth teams.
In other words, today’s Mancini is not only the head coach of the national team, but also the “head coach” of the entire national character “. In the Italian team, which has always been unwilling to give the coach too much authority, this is the kindness that Lippi, berazot and other famous coaches have never enjoyed.
However, the high position has not satisfied Mancini, who has always had a strong personality. On the contrary, there are fewer and fewer old Bologna handsome men who can understand their own words it’s lonely at the top.
It is well known that Mancini, regardless of teaching Lazio, Inter Milan or Manchester City, always brings the old brothers who played for Sampdoria that year. But now, assistant professor Evani has resigned one step ahead of Manjo, while Lombardo and nuochyari have been assigned to other positions of national character, leaving only physical coach Salsano “never leave”.
The departure of the old man means that subtle personnel changes follow one after another. First, Buffon, who had just retired for less than a week, entered the national team as the team leader; Then, bonucchi, who had not played the main force in Juve and was basically semi-retired, also entered the national team coaching team, take up the job in advance.
In other national teams, the arrival of fame is always positive, but not in Italy. All of the above arrangements came from the direct appointment of the Football Association president Glavina, without asking Mancini’s opinion.
On the surface, it is normal for Mancini’s descendants and even disciples to enter the court, but the subtext is obviously that once Mancini has lost, they can quickly take over. For Mancini, who has basically finished the European championship bonus and is in a difficult climbing stage, this appointment is not considerate, but a threat.
In fact, the relationship between Mancini and the Italian Football Association has always been unspeakable. When the Football Association found Mancini to save the driver, it was also a weakness that he was at the bottom of the club career and needed to turn over. However, with the rapid rise of Mancini’s performance, the Football Association, which was originally in a strong position, could only continue to cooperate with manjo. The two sides seemed to be intimate, but in fact, their status had never been equal.
Such chaotic personnel arrangement shocked not only the Italian football world. Abody, the Italian Minister of Sports, strongly criticized the arrangement of the Football Association: “Did the personnel changes in the past few days have been approved by Mancini?”
Now, manjo’s resignation was facilitated, except for personnel changes, there were also things that hurt his mind. In the past year, two Sampux old friends of Mancini have been dying one after another. Viali, an anti-cancer fighter, and Mihailovich, who has been laughing at leukemia for many years, unfortunately died. Mancini, who has always been a man of temperament outside the stadium, was sad during this period, few people care about it.
Under the double blow, Mancini, who had always been willing to leave office, was not a temporary intention although he was in a hurry.
He entered the national team as the leader Buffon.
5 years of deep plowing, mixed reputation
As the coach who continued to coach the Italian team for the longest time in the 21st century, Mancini was the first superstar of this national team regardless of whether the fans admitted it or not. Similar to ARAGORN Ness, who led Spain to the top of Europe in 2008, Manjo is not only the champion coach, but also the chief designer of the team style.
During Mancini’s term of office, the two monuments are bound to be repeatedly mentioned. One naturally wins the Delaune Cup with gorgeous and smooth offensive football, and the other is 37 unbeaten international events that have refreshed the record, the former symbolizes height, while the latter represents persistence. Mancini’s KPI can absolutely be taken. In addition, coaching 61 games of the national team also enabled Manjo to surpass Lippi, prandley, Vicini and Saki, becoming the coach who led the team for the third time in the history of the national team.
But what is more important than champions and records is the confidence that Manjo brings to the national team. When he entered the cabinet, he was at the lowest point when the national team missed the World Cup in Russia. The whole country was shrouded in a sad and uneasy atmosphere. Facing the departure of veteran generals such as Buffon, Manjo, who had been rebuilt from scratch, of course, relying on “Xuanming erlao”, he took the lead in building a solid defense, but on the offensive end, he cultivated a group of newcomers who were not sharp in Serie A to be able to fight, the backbone of the battle.
Under Mancini, Locatelli, who was deemed not good enough to play for Milan, became one of the team’s eukaryotes; Barrela, who built confidence step by step, became the key man who was particularly reliable for both the national team and the club; inmobilai once took off the hat of the soft-footed shrimp in the competition, and little kiyessa flew to the sky. He was not only the son of fame, it is also a supernova with a name left in the football world only for one European Cup.
As for the changes in the pattern of ruozhino, spina Zola and Pesina, it is more obvious that Mancini’s Turning Stone into gold. More importantly, the rustic brown men in the eyes of this group of fans played beautiful football like fake replacement.
However, these wonderful and unreal dream years came to an abrupt end with kiellini lifting the Delaune Cup.
In the following FIFA World Cup qualification, the blue shirts troops who had been braking inexplicably in the final stage were the victims of the new play-off system. However, it was not Portugal that blocked their journey to the east, but North Macedonia, which was not of the same magnitude at all.
The failure of Qatar World Cup also made Mancini and Italy fall into the usual rhythm of familiar self-doubt and loss of good game. Although the Italian Football Association still offered a contract extension, manjo’s magic was gone. In the semi-finals of the European league, they lost to Spain, which was no stronger than their book strength; The first European and American Cup, Argentina, which had not yet won the World Cup, also taught blue shirts troops a lesson.
What is more disturbing is that Italy was completely passively beaten in two strong dialogues. Manjo’s proud offensive football seemed to have been removed from the team’s DNA.
After the European league missed the final again this year, the rift of the Italian team has been visible to the naked eye. The name card Resa expressed concern: “Mancini lost the enthusiasm to let him take over the national team and win the European Cup. This enthusiasm gradually dissipated after the World Cup was missed, and the national team needed new enthusiasm and motivation.”
There is no doubt that we should not only win but also win the good-looking Mancini, which has reversed the rigid anti-corruption tradition of Italian football to the greatest extent. However, it was not a cold day, the increasingly mediocre league environment and the continuous lack of successors made Mancini doomed to be unable to form a team in full accordance with personal ideas like Deschamp and Southgate. “Turning Stone into gold” was not the norm, magic will always fail on that day.
Instead of continuing to make do with it, separation may be a better choice-Manjo, who was hard to say to get together with Inter Milan and Manchester City, at least this time did a decent job in Italy.
The coach of the Italian national team is to be chosen.
One by two width, it is difficult for each
“It is my personal choice to resign from the position of head coach of the national team. I will always remember the extraordinary victory of Euro 2020. It is my honor to coach Italy.” Mancini’s departure speech is still a modest gentleman, but no matter the coach himself or the national team, the sincere cooperation has been turned over, and both sides must look forward.
Like many stars who “give up the future” and concentrate on “Qian Tu” this summer, waving check book Saudi Arabia is very likely to be Mancini’s potential next home. After Renard, who led the outstanding performance in the World Cup, moved to the French women’s football team, the Saudi national team obviously wanted to find a super coach with more fame and ability. Mancini was undoubtedly the best candidate.
According to the famous sports journalist dimaziao, as early as three months ago, the Saudi Football Association had begun to contact Mancini privately and issued a three-year contract with an annual salary of 18 million euros. In the club, this may not be the top salary of the coach, but in the national team, it is really unique.
In the fall of next year, Manjo, who will be the dascillidae of the year, will inevitably enter the ranks of the old handsome no matter how young people are figure control. It was like Trapattoni who “refused to accept the old” or earned enough money in the golden period of his coaching career. He really had to make a choice early. After all, he had already made a detour in Russia.
As for the Italian team that lost the leader, it is also a top priority to implement the next manager. However, at this moment, Manqiao did win the First Army of the Football Association. When the league started, the famous and handsome people were basically placed in their respective positions. How could there be a ready-made candidate for rescue?
Among the local coaches who are waiting to stay at home, Spaletti, who led Naples to the top last season, is undoubtedly the best candidate. However, after leaving Naples, he clearly stated that he was ready to rest for a year. His willingness to leave the mountain was not strong, and he had never coached any level of national team was also a great disadvantage.
As for the former coach Kong Di, he seems to be more in tune with the national team, but his high salary requirements and violent personality are always scruple. Another weakness is that the group of national team players he carried seven years ago has basically entered the end of his career. If he continues to reuse veteran generals and regain anti-rebellion, it will also run counter to the construction direction of the national team in recent years.
Apart from the two famous coaches, 2006 World Cup heroes Cannavaro, Grosso and drosi are also alternative coaches of the Football Association. But the biggest disadvantage of the three is that their resumes are cold and their prestige is not enough. Apart from Chinese fans who are more familiar with Cannavaro, “Wei Yizuo” has been hanging out with Yi Yi for many years, while De Rossi, who has just retired for several years, is “hairless on his mouth”.
However, no matter who the final flowers fall, at the beginning of next month, the European preliminary match will resume the war. Italy, which has lost to England, the number one rival at home, can’t stand any more trouble. Otherwise, the bleak autumn night of San Siro will reappear six years later, which is not alarmist.
