Italian Football Needs 16-Year-Overdue Reforms

Italian football needs a revolution that has been postponed for far too long, with reforms required across all levels of the game. After recent eliminations against Sweden, North Macedonia, and Bosnia, the sport must prioritize specialized educators, return technique to the cornerstone of player development, modernize facilities, and shift from a "winning mentality" to a "pursuit of growth."

These changes must remain regardless of who becomes the next Federal President or head coach. Previous good intentions haven't led to lasting change, and this time the reforms must stick. The recent international failures highlight the urgency for Italian football to evolve beyond its current state and embrace necessary changes to compete at the highest level.
