On the board, there are two strong candidates to replace Mancini, who surprisingly tendered his resignation as the Italian national team manager.
Like a bolt from the blue, the resignation of Roberto Mancini as the coach of the Italian national team has taken everyone by surprise. An unexpected turn of events that immediately triggers speculation about the next coach:
who will step into Mancini’s shoes to lead Italy? Two strong candidates emerge in the bookmakers’ predictions.
Conte-Spalletti going Neck to Neck According to Bookmakers
With two Euro qualifying matches to be played in less than a month, it won’t be long before the successor to Mancini is officially chosen to lead Italy. The bookmakers have a rather clear picture: Antonio Conte is the favorite. The return of the Salento-born coach to the helm of the Italian national team is valued at 1.50.
Also in the running is Luciano Spalletti, with odds at 2.50.
Slightly less likely, but still held in good consideration, are Daniele De Rossi and Fabio Cannavaro, both at 5 in the bookmakers’ odds.
