Baldini Demands Reform After Italy World Cup Failure

Interim Italy manager Silvio Baldini has launched a scathing critique of the national game's administration, demanding structural reform ahead of upcoming friendlies against Luxembourg and Greece.

The veteran coach expressed deep frustration over systemic issues, calling for a complete overhaul of the domestic game's hierarchy. "Italian football is in the hands of managers who think only of their own interests, not the growth of the game," stated Baldini, who referred to some administrators as "scammers" holding the reins of the sport. milkshakeslot.com

With the national team still reeling from their failure to qualify for the 2026 World Cup, the interim boss dismissed unrealistic managerial targets like Guardiola or Fàbregas. "There's no point in mentioning unattainable names," Baldini noted, suggesting Italy has plenty of skilled coaches capable of giving the team a strong identity. The Azzurri remain without a permanent successor to Gennaro Gattuso.
