Baldini Calls for Structural Reform After Italy’s World Cup Exit

At a press conference before Italy’s first training under Baldini, the veteran coach demanded a wholesale overhaul of the domestic football hierarchy, blaming managers who prioritize personal interests over the game’s growth. He criticised the focus on trading older players for profit and called for a new generation of serious leaders. The Azzurri will soon face Luxembourg and Greece as Baldini seeks to rebuild the setup while a permanent successor to Gennaro Gattuso remains unappointed. zeppelin.cool
