Gabriele Gravina stepped down only a day following Italian Minister for Sport and Youth, Andrea Abodi’s, announcement of significant alterations within the association’s leadership. He accepted accountability for Italy’s repeated inability to advance to the World Cup, marking a third consecutive elimination. Gravina, who had scheduled a new presidential election for June 22nd, assumed the role of the Italian football association in 2018, immediately following Italy’s defeat against Sweden during the 2018 World Cup qualifiers.
His most notable achievement occurred in 2020, when the italian team secured victory over England in the European Championship final. This success followed a period of intense scrutiny. Subsequently, Gabriele Gravina announced his departure from the team.
Gianluigi Buffon, a prominent figure, also declared his retirement from the national squad after Gravina’s resignation. The move underscores the considerable pressure surrounding the italian football organization after the recent setbacks.
