Summary
"I learned last night that I am no longer a candidate for the Italian national team coaching position," the former AC Milan and Juventus midfielder and key member of the Azzurri's 2006 World Cup-winning team said via social media. ANSA - ROME, JUL 27 - Andrea Pirlo said Monday that he is no longer in the running to be the new coach of the Italian national team after a furore erupted over his sponsorship of Russian betting agency Fonbet. The 47-year-old, who is currently in charge of Dubai United, had previously expressed "great bitterness" about the row over the sponsorship.
Furthermore, Another question regards a possible conflict of interest as one of Pirlo's children is a soccer agent. Aside from the question of whether it would be acceptable for the new coach of the national team to have been linked to Russia amid its war of aggression on Ukraine, there is also the issue of gambling advertising being banned in Italy. Pirlo's arrival on the Azzurri bench had looked a certain thing last week when Pep Guardiola turned down the FIGC's offer for him to take the job, as he was reportedly seen as the next-best option by Maldini.
In addition, "The professional collaboration at the centre of recent controversy is exclusively of a commercial and sporting nature; to attribute a political significance to it is to attribute beliefs that I have never expressed and that do not reflect my views to me. "I would like to thank Italian Soccer Federation Technical Director Paolo Maldini and FIGC consultant Leonardo for their esteem and trust. The same issue could be raised in relation to Maldini, who also has a son who is an agent, and there is talk of the former Milan and Italy defending great stepping down from his FIGC role because of this and because of Pirlo's appointment falling through.
