Italy’s current football performance is being debated in coverage of the day’s sports papers, with La Gazzetta dello Sport saying “we’re better than this.” The focus is on Italy coach Roberto Mancini, with reports arguing that expectations are higher for the team’s “big players” and that the coach’s decisions and errors have not delivered the desired breakthrough.
Alongside the discussion of Italy’s shortcomings, the same coverage highlights a statement from UEFA president Aleksander Čeferin. Reports say Čeferin issues a warning related to plans for Euro 2032, though details of the warning are not provided in the excerpts shared. Other elements mentioned include that changes for the next period are expected, including a reference to Turkey and the prospect of adjustments tomorrow, with Frattesi mentioned in that context.
Across the two outlets provided here, the emphasis is consistent on the critique of Italy’s current level and the managerial factors blamed for not meeting expectations, while also noting Čeferin’s Euro 2032 warning as a separate, parallel development.
