Italian football must undergo significant reforms across all levels, according to experts who have highlighted the need for specialized educators, a return to technical fundamentals, and modernized facilities. The sport has been waiting for these changes for 16 years, with recent failures against Sweden, North Macedonia, and Bosnia underscoring the need for transformation.
A shift from a 'winning mentality' to a 'pursuit of growth,' along with giving Italian players more opportunities and tactical boldness at every level, is essential regardless of who leads the federation. These reforms must be implemented this time, unlike previous attempts that were ultimately abandoned.
