Just this past Sunday night, the Italian Football Association made a surprise statement that manager Vincenzo Vencenzo unexpectedly handed in his resignation. It is reported that the FA will be announcing a new manager in the near future, but the exact reason for Vincenzo's resignation has not yet been made public.
In a statement, the FA mentioned that they will be looking for a replacement quickly in light of two upcoming European national team matches against North Macedonia and Ukraine in September. Meanwhile, Venceni was highly praised for his outstanding performance since taking over. Since taking over as Italy's head coach in 2018, Vincenzo has led his side to a successful Europa League title in 2020 and a remarkable 37 consecutive matches without defeat. Unfortunately, they failed to qualify for the 2022 World Cup final round. Vincenzo's contract was originally signed until July 2026, after he had been appointed as the coordinator of the youth teams, giving him more power, this sudden resignation has undoubtedly brought a lot of surprise to the outside world.
