What happened. Multiple Italian sources report that FIGC president Giovanni Malagò is likely to appoint Claudio Ranieri as technical director and Roberto Mancini as head coach after Paolo Maldini's resignation.

• Maldini's project lasted barely two weeks.
• Andrea Pirlo was rejected as coach due to betting company ties.
• Giorgio Chiellini is happy at Juventus, not interested.
