Turin, 9 June (LaPresse) – ‘Is Ranieri the right man for the national team bench? I don't know, but he is a person and a professional who has travelled the world, he is balanced, and this year with Roma he has shown his qualities in being able to take over and immediately hit the right notes.’ Luciano Spalletti said this to Rai Sport, returning to the subject of his dismissal as Italy coach. The coach will be on the bench for the last time tonight in the match against Moldova, valid for qualification for the 2026 World Cup. ‘I think the federation knows how to choose the right person. If it's him, I wish him all the best,’ he added. ‘I'll be there cheering him on.’
