According to Turin Sports, Gianluigi Buffon, the national team’s head of delegation, is considering resigning from his position after Italy’s disappointing performance at the European Championship.
Italy’s 0-2 defeat to Switzerland saw the “Azzurri” exit the competition prematurely. While head coach Luciano Spalletti is not planning to resign, Buffon has different thoughts. According to Turin Sports, Buffon’s first experience in this delicate role in the national team and in major events didn’t go as he hoped. Buffon isn’t disappointed by the loss to Switzerland, but by the way they played – lacking courage, energy, and fighting spirit. In this aspect, he feels he has failed, as he had aimed to be a motivator between the coach and the players from the beginning.
Therefore, Buffon is reflecting on his role, and while he hasn’t yet submitted a resignation letter to the Italian Football Federation, the possibility cannot be ruled out. He will soon have a direct meeting with Gabriele Gravina and Spalletti to discuss the national team’s next steps.
