After announcing his resignation as head coach of the Italian national team, Spaletti was interviewed by Rai National Television and talked about multiple topics including the departure and successor.

How did you sleep last night, and say goodbye to Italy

"How did you sleep last night? Obviously, it depends on the feelings you poured into things. It is really difficult for me to fall asleep at some moments. Everything is exhausted, nothing can be let go easily. Failure is more like this than victory, and I need time to digest the series of things that just happened. Have I ever expected a different ending? If you refer to these 22 months of coaching, there will certainly be reflection, but you can't turn back time. Some choices have indeed proven to be wrong The mistake may be because I chose the wrong person, or maybe I wanted to try something different. But I am especially sorry that I have never had those important players who were absent due to injury. "

Talking about the game losing to Norway

"We played against Norway under special conditions. The Champions League final brought great mental pressure to some of our players, and Norway played two warm-up matches. Then, what happened. "

Talking about the prospects of the World Cup

"Italy will definitely enter the World Cup, I'm concerned about this 100% sure. I didn't take the initiative to resign, but out of respect for some people, I was willing to sign a termination agreement. Money problem? No, it's like this in the national team. I'll give up my salary, that's all. The situation is different in the club. I didn't give up my salary at Inter because something happened. But it's different in the national team. I gave up my salary and signed a termination agreement. Everyone can interpret it themselves, but it's the fact."

Relationship with Football Association Chairman Gravina

"My relationship with Gravina is very good, This is based on how he treated me. He had doubts about whether to continue to let me coach, and he told me frankly, which was good. I made this public because it was not fair to hide it for two days. "

Ranieri is the right person

"Is Ranieri the right person? I don't know. But he is an experienced professional with a global footprint and a steady personality. When he took over in Rome, he showed his ability to communicate with players and grasp key points. The Football Association chose the right person."
