1BSPORTS 1B Sports June 10th News Spaletti was interviewed by Rai National Television after announcing her resignation as head coach of the Italian national team, and talked about multiple topics including the departure and successor.
How did you sleep last night, and say goodbye to Italy
“How did you sleep last night? Obviously, it depends on the feelings you pour into things. It’s really difficult for me to fall asleep at some moments. Everything is exhausting, nothing can be let go easily. Failure is more like this than victory, and I need time to digest the series of things that just happened. Have I ever expected a different ending? If you refer to these 22 months of coaching, there will certainly be reflection, but you can’t turn back time. Some choices have indeed proven to be wrong, or Maybe it was because I chose the wrong person, maybe I wanted to try something different. But I was especially sorry that I never had those important players who were absent due to injuries. “
Talk about the loss to Norway
“We played against Norway under special conditions. The Champions League final brought great mental pressure to some of our players, and Norway played two warm-up matches. Then, what happened.”
Talk about the prospects of the World Cup
“Italy I will definitely enter the World Cup, and I am 100% sure about it. I didn’t take the initiative to resign, but out of respect for some people, I am willing to sign a termination agreement. Money issue? No, it’s like this in the national team. I will give up my salary, that’s all. The situation is different at the club. I didn’t give up my salary at Inter because something happened. But it’s different in the national team. I gave up my salary and signed a termination agreement. Everyone can interpret it themselves, but it’s the truth.”
Relationship with Football Association Chairman Gravina
“Grave and me Na’s relationship is very good, based on how he treated me. He had doubts about whether to continue to let me coach, and he told me frankly, which was great. I made this public because it was not fair to hide it for two days. “
Is Ranieri the right person? I don’t know. But he is an experienced professional with a global footprint and a steady personality. When he took over in Rome, he showed his ability to communicate with players and grasp key points. The Football Association chose the right person.”
