Gigi Buffon is not leaving, but he is doubling down. He will remain the head of the national delegation and will have a “broader and more transversal” role in the Italian club. Gravina has called up the former goalkeeper, 176 times in blue like no other in history, to avoid the risk of a divorce, we read on Corriere della Sera. Buffon explained to the federal president the reasons for his disappointment after the failure at the European Championship and how, faced with a failure of such magnitude, he questioned himself and declared himself ready to take a step back.
Gravina replied that he does not intend to lose a symbol of our football. The understanding was quick. Luciano Spalletti participated in the meeting by phone and with Gigi he made an appointment in September for the first Azzurri gathering in view of the two Nations League away matches against France and Israel.
