Italian football federation president Giovanni Malagò says Italy captain Gianluigi Donnarumma has approved Roberto Mancini as the team’s next coach. In comments attributed to Malagò, Donnarumma’s support is presented as a key factor behind the decision to move forward with Mancini. Both outlets report Malagò’s broader concern that relations between UEFA and FIFA are currently marked by what he describes as “total conflict,” suggesting negotiations and sporting governance issues could complicate the situation. The reports indicate Malagò frames the coming period as challenging, without detailing specific actions taken by either organization. The two sources align on the central points: Donnarumma’s reported approval of Mancini for the Italy role, and Malagò’s claim that UEFA and FIFA are in direct conflict at present. Beyond that, the articles do not provide additional confirmed details such as formal contract timelines, the exact terms of any agreement, or the specific disputes underpinning Malagò’s remarks.
