Mrs. Marianna Puolo on the microphones of ‘A sheep day’: “He is a winner, but if he left the national team he will have had his reasons, perhaps someone was not honest with him”
Among the many names that have been combined with the blue bench in the last few hours, there is a little surprise, even that of Roberto Mancini. Just him: the former coach who, in 2023, had left the national team in August to try the adventure, then lasting just over a year, driving Saudi Arabia. A decision of which Mancini himself said he said: “I shouldn’t have left Italy,” he said in recent days. Words also reiterated by the mother of the former coach, Marianna Puolo, guest of a day as a sheep on Rai Radio1: “My son again of the national team? He when he goes to places wins, is certainly not the latest arrived. I don’t know what he thinks, they should talk to us …”
“Sorry”

And on the reasons that, two years ago, led Mancini to leave the Azzurri after a European won and a failure to qualify for the World Cup, Mrs. Puolo expresses himself as follows: “Of course, if he went away there will have been reasons, Roberto is not a hot head, he is not one who acts impulse: probably someone who has not been honest towards him”. So Mancio’s mother closes: “I think Roberto would gladly return, but I think there would take someone’s excuses …”. A message that would seem to be addressed to the federal president Gravina, who in the months following the farewell had declared that he felt betrayed by the choice of Mancio.
