Italy starts Roberto Mancini’s second spell as manager with a 2–0 defeat to Belgium, according to reports summarizing the day’s Italian sports front pages. The match ends with Italy receiving boos, with Gianluigi Donnarumma praised for keeping the scoreline from being even more severe.
The coverage frames the result as a difficult opening for the new “Nazionale,” with outlets focusing on the need for improvement as Mancini begins rebuilding the team. Both sources also reference the broader context of Italy’s performance, including how the game plays out in the aftermath of the final whistle.
While the reports draw on the same underlying match facts, they differ mainly in emphasis: one highlights Mancini’s quoted message about the work still required, while the other points to the match’s outcome and the reaction at the end. Overall, the outlets converge on the same core storyline: Italy lose 2–0 to Belgium at the start of Mancini’s renewed tenure.
