Italy federation chief resigns after another World Cup failure - Reuters

The head of the Italian football federation has resigned following another failure to qualify Italy for the World Cup. Italy's absence from the tournament represents a historic embarrassment for a nation that won the World Cup twice and has long been considered a global football powerhouse. The resignation reflects mounting pressure on leadership after the team's inability to reach consecutive World Cups, a dramatic decline for a country that reached the Euro 2020 final. The federation must now search for new leadership to rebuild the national team's competitive standing. Italy's World Cup failures have reignited debate about the state of Italian football and whether systemic changes are needed in player development and team management.
