Italy federation chief resigns after another World Cup failure - Reuters

The head of the Italian football federation has resigned following Italy's failure to qualify for the World Cup. This marks another major disappointment for a nation that won the 2020 European Championship but has struggled in recent competitive tournaments. Italy's absence from the World Cup represents a significant blow to the country's footballing prestige and leaves the federation searching for new leadership to rebuild the program. The resignation underscores the pressure on Italian football officials to restore the team's competitiveness on the global stage. A successor will need to chart a path forward for a program that was once among Europe's strongest but has faced recurring qualification setbacks.
