Pirlo no longer linked to Italy coach role
Former Italian midfielder Andrea Pirlo has announced that he is no longer a candidate to coach the Italian national football team, following widespread criticism due to his contract with a Russian company and his limited coaching experience. It was believed that he was the most likely to take over the position, but Pirlo's exclusion came as a result of controversy over his relationship with a Russian betting company and directives from the head of the Italian Football Federation, who opposed his appointment. These developments come amid a crisis faced by the Italian national team after missing the last three World Cups. The federation had previously considered appointing experienced coaches such as Antonio Conte or attempting to persuade Pep Guardiola, but no agreement has been reached yet.
