Italy
The national team is set to undergo a major reshuffle in terms of renewal. After this year's Europa League stoppage in the round of sixteen, Italy coach Luciano Spalletti has made it clear that he will focus on the training and development of young players in the future.
Here are some of the important changes and plans:
Jorginho and Darmian out
: Experienced players such as Jorginho and Darmian have announced their retirement from the Italian national team, bringing their careers there to an end.
Veterans at risk
: Veterans such as Cristante, G Mancini and Di Lorenzo, although trusted by Spalletti in the past, will be at risk for future selections, especially those whose performances have fallen significantly short of their clubs.
Introduction of new blood
: Spalletti plans to inject fresh blood by bringing in young players. Young players who were not able to take part in this Europa League due to injury or suspension, such as Scalvini, Tonali, Udoghi and Zaniolo, will be an important part of the national team in the future.
Youth team standout performers
: Spalletti has paid particular attention to players who have excelled with the youth national team in recent years, including young talents such as Fabian, Baldanzi, Prati, Casadei, Cayode, Luca and Ndor.
The Emergence of Supernovas
: Spalletti is also looking forward to the breakout of two superstars, Pafundi, born in 2006, and Camarda, born in 2008, who have had excellent performances for their clubs and youth national teams, respectively.
The changes mark a rebuilding of the Italian national team and a clear plan for its future direction.
