Italy coach Roberto Mancini spoke after the Azzurra’s surprise exit from the European playoffs heading to Qatar 2022 against North Macedonia. The strategist shared a heartfelt message through his official Instagram account, “We have gone from total joy to frustrating disappointment,” he wrote.
“Sometimes, football can be a ruthless metaphor for life. Last summer we were at the top of Europe after having completed one of the most beautiful feats in the history of the national team. A few hours ago we woke up in one of the points more dramatic.
We have gone from total joy to frustrating disappointment. It is really difficult to accept, but also accepting the defeats of life is part of a healthy path of human and sports growth. Let’s take some time to reflect and understand clearly. The only right move now is to raise your head and work towards the future.
Thanks to the Palermo public for the heat and thanks to all the fans who have always transmitted enthusiasm and affection to us”.
