Urban Cairopresident of the Turinspoke to the microphones of gazette.it on the sidelines of La7’s Upfront 2024 event, starting to talk about the elimination of the National from theEuropean: “Giving a lot of credibility to the coach Luciano Spalletti, I had very high expectations. Apart from the first half against Albania, in which Italy worked well, scored two goals and brought home the result, in the following matches I always saw them struggling a lot, we didn’t see a team that had a precise identity”.
What does Italy need right now?
“It was really a shame, but we have to think about the future and do it quickly. We have a qualification for the World Cup to obtain, which is not easy, so now we need to reset and start again. Spalletti, who is an intelligent man, will understand where things didn’t work and will intervene with corrective measures”.
Previously, Cairo had spoken about Vanoli as follows: “He is the coach we chose because of the good things he has done since he became head coach. He won a Russian Cup at Spartak, then he returned to Italy, took over Venezia in very difficult conditions and in two years brought them back to Serie A. He is a relatively young coach with good ideas, who pays great attention to both phases of the game. I have a lot of faith in him, but now let’s start, build the team and then we’ll see”.
