Bonucci will work alongside Mancini

The Italian Football Federation has announced the composition of the national team's coaching staff.

Alberto Bollini serves as deputy to newly appointed head coach Roberto Mancini, while Leonardo Bonucci, Antonio Gagliardi, and Massimo Maccarone serve as assistants.

The 39-year-old Bonucci is a Euro 2012 runner-up and a Euro 2020 winner.

Gabriele Oriali, a 1982 World Cup champion, has once again been appointed team manager; he previously held this position from 2014 to 2023.

Mancini also managed the Italian national team from 2018 to 2023. Under his leadership, the team became European champions and twice won the bronze medal in the Nations League. Italy has failed to qualify for the World Cup finals for the third consecutive time.
