Asked why Ranieri, Pioli, DeRossi and Cannavaro said no.
Easy, it's a mission impossible, very difficult to enter this World Cup in this situation and with little time available.
In fact I think that Italy will fail to qualify, once again. Not a problem. The top brass of the FIGC must be fired.

Fingers are crossed for Italians soccer team because after every day their system is going down, and they are facing problems which are having huge impact on their structure which needs to be had changes before it faced terrible end. Many big names already reject offer, and now they are having a person who is looking not right for this job but still having his best for remaining games I am still having some faith into them but look like most chances it's going to be third time.

Agreed. Also, I would say that the coach has a limited role to play in today's national teams. The real issue with Italy is that they simply don't have enough younger players to replace the seniors who retire each year. And also, unlike the case with teams such as France and England, they don't have a very large immigrant population. This means that they have few people in the 15-29 age group, and this is being reflected in the performance of the national team as well as the major clubs.

Italy's league was one of the best in UEFA but sadly in last few years it's gone down badly with mostly foreign players are having control of top clubs which are giving setback to their national team while their system is also fail to bring domestic players in front.

Things are looking for big changes but no one is ready to do this Brazil and Italy are both on same page which is big setback for global soccer because both were once beauty of soccer and bring many players those make their mark around soccer world but now still having individuals but as team their performance is badly down who will took charge it's a big question.
