Gabriele Gravina has stepped down from his role as president of the Italian Football Federation.
The recent loss to Bosnia has had major implications for Italian football.
Details: Today, it was revealed that the 72-year-old Gravina resigned, a decision linked to the national team’s defeat in an important World Cup qualifying match, resulting in the Azzurri missing out on another chance to compete on the world stage.
Reports from SkySports suggest that the Italian Football Federation is looking at two potential successors: Giovanni Malagò and Giancarlo Abete. A final decision will be made public on June 22, after the election outcome.
Gravina had been in his position since 2018.
Reminder: Two top candidates have been named for the role of head coach for Italy.
