But after meeting with the Italian football federation (FIGC) on Saturday, the former Napoli boss will keep his job.

“Yesterday we had a long talk with the manager and I think it’s unthinkable to resolve our problems by abandoning a multi-year project,” FIGC president Gabriele Gravina was quoted on Fabrizio Romano’s X handle. “You can’t abandon a project after 8-9 months.”

The defeat to Switzerland was the first time Italy lost two games in a particular edition of the European Championship.
