Also Gigi Buffon gives his opinion on the National team chaos. “In the end, Mancini is a technically right choice because he has demonstrated a game functional to a project. If I were Psg, Bayern, Real, Juve, a big club, I would consider him,” cuts short the former world champion. Reached by Gazzetta dello Sport, Buffon gives some advice: “What would I propose as dt? The main goal is to qualify for the World Cup in four years. On this basis, I would have chosen Conte, then Baldini and gradually the others. But you have to have the courage to make choices and the skill to communicate them to everyone, including the press. Too often I hear ‘that is the right person,’ without tangible motivation. Ok, but these are instinctive choices, not studied. First, the project and then the functional person.”

Finally, there is the behind-the-scenes about the call from Maldini and Leonardo: “Nice to talk with them, they had offered me a role as national teams executive, coordinating between Serie A and the Under teams. Their enthusiasm made me waver, but I stuck to my idea: from 1991 to today I have not allowed myself more than twenty days of sabbatical and it was time to dedicate myself to those who have dedicated themselves to me, wife, children, parents. I need to recharge.”
