Baldini Calls for Italian Football Overhaul After World Cup Exit

At a press conference before the first friendly under his tenure, Baldini slammed the national federation’s approach, saying Italian football is run by managers who prioritise personal interests over the game’s growth. He urged a structural reform of domestic football and rejected the idea of hiring high‑profile names such as Guardiola or Fabregas, insisting that realistic, competent coaches are needed to rebuild Italy’s footballing identity. noplasticplease.life
