Luciano Spalletti has been relieved of his duties as Italy coach, the manager said on Sunday after the tough defeat to Norway, but he will still take charge of the match against Moldova on Monday.
Spalletti made the comments at a news conference after Norway stunned Italy with a 3-0 win on Friday, dealing a humiliating blow to their start to World Cup qualifying.
“Last night I was very close with the president (Gabriele) Gravina. He told me that I would be relieved of my post as coach of the national team,” Spalletti said.
“I had no intention of leaving. I would prefer to stay in my post and continue to carry out my duties. I will be there tomorrow evening for the match against Moldova, and then we will discuss the contract issue.”
