Azzurri in group C of the qualifying rounds. Mancini finds the English, against whom he won the final of the last European Championships, but also the national team that excluded the Azzurri from the race for the World Cup in Qatar
October 9
– Milan
Sometimes they come back. And no one has been able to hold back the laughter in Frankfurt in the face of such a mocking fate. After the European final and the double confrontation in the Nations League, Italy finds England on its path again. But if on the one hand the Azzurri will relive the sweet memories of the highest moment of Roberto Mancini’s management, on the other they will also remember the lowest point with North Macedonia, the national team that excluded us from the World Cup that will be played in Qatar. To complete our group C there are Ukraine and Malta. In the other groups the Netherlands and France end up together, Spain will have to contend with Haaland and Kvaratskhelia, Belgium will face Austria and Sweden, Croatia will have to go to Wales and Turkey.
The first matches are scheduled for March 23-25 next year.
