The Italian press stunned after the new elimination of Italy

The coronation at the Euro was therefore only an anomaly, marvelous but misleading.

This is the general tone that we perceive in the transalpine press this Friday, the day after the pitiful defeat against North Macedonia (0-1), which deprives the "Nazionale", already absent in Russia in 2018, from a second consecutive World Cup.

“Everyone at home”, headlines

, the major centre-left daily, estimating that the rout Thursday evening in Palermo marks “the farewell to a Nazionale lost forever”.

La Stampa

castigates a "disastrous performance" by Roberto Mancini's players who only shot five out of 32 on target while the Macedonians scored on one of their four shots of the match.

For the major Milanese newspaper, the elimination of Italy, quadruple world champion (1934, 1938, 1982, 2006) and reigning European champion, announces "a change of generation" and a "refoundation".

“In office since 2018, Mancini who should also remain in his post.

The coach was extended until 2026 last year and he seems protected by his victory at the Euro.

“The hour of responsibility” has come, thunders

Despite the absences (the injured striker Federico Chiesa in particular), his manager, Ivan Zazzaroni, a close friend of the Italian coach, finds no extenuating circumstances in him: "Mancini was the architect of the European triumph, Mancini is the first person responsible for this failure.

Years of free fall
