This situation has now turned into a drama in which the name of almost every Italian ex-top footballer has been involved. The process of appointing a new head coach has been delayed. Pirlo's appointment has now failed and Maldini, who was technical director, has resigned after only sixteen days. Now the name of the new chief trainer has not been revealed.Sky Sport Italia shared this new information on Monday night. According to the report, the FIGC was already aware of Pirlo's actions in Russia. "Immediately after Pep Guardiola's rejection, the FIGC contacted Pirlo. His lawyers sent him current working contracts, which also mentioned the relationship with Fonbet. This contract contained a clause stating that if Pirlo returned to Italy, all his responsibilities could be immediately terminated. Thus, the union was fully aware of the situation."
The deal for Pirlo ultimately fell through and Maldini threatened to resign immediately. According to Gazzetta dello Sport, the FIGC proposed Motta as a new candidate to retain Maldini. Motta, who is not currently linked to any club, is known to have good relationships with young players and has a knowledge of Italian football.
Mancini given priority, Chiellini's name takenTalks between FIGC president Giovanni Malago and Maldini were not successful and Motta's name is also no longer in the news. According to Sky Sport Italia, Roberto Mancini is now favorite to become the new head coach, while Antonio Conte has emerged as an alternative. Giorgio Chiellini's name is also being discussed as Maldini's successor, who is being seen as a possible technical director. Thus, it is likely that names like Fabio Cannavaro, Francesco Totti and Alessandro Del Piero will soon come forward to join the process.
What will happen next
Now, the FIGC must accelerate the search for a new head coach, especially after the deal for Pirlo has fallen through. Thiago Motta has been floated as a possible candidate, but with him being linked with no club the situation could be even more challenging. Furthermore, following the resignation of Paolo Maldini, the FIGC will also need to make changes to the role of Technical Director.
