The Tuscan coach will take charge from September 1, 2023, with his official presentation taking place in early September at the Azzurri training camp at Coverciano when the squad meet up for matches against North Macedonia and Ukraine.
“We welcome Spalletti,” said FIGC President Gabriele Gravina, “the National Team needed a great coach and I am very happy that he has accepted to lead the Azzurri. His enthusiasm and expertise will be fundamental for the challenges that await Italy in the coming months.”
