Reports citing Corriere dello Sport say Thiago Motta is among the candidates discussed for the Italy national team coaching position, but he declines the proposal. The same reporting indicates that Serie A clubs block Silvio Baldini from being appointed. Sources describe this as a decision shaped by the preferences of the top-flight clubs, rather than a single appointing authority acting alone. While details of the discussions and the timeline are not consistent across outlets, the central points are that Motta does not take the role that was offered, and that Baldini faces resistance from Serie A sides. The reports therefore portray a coaching-search process that involves multiple names being considered and an active role for Serie A clubs in determining which candidates are acceptable. No official appointment is announced in the provided summaries, and the information is presented as reported rather than confirmed through formal federation or government communication.
