I don't know about that team but as i compared them to the team when i watch regulary. Nesta, Gatusso, Buffon, Maldini, Del Piero etc. I think those players are just not on the same level. Italy’s failure to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup marks a historic low for the Italy national football team, highlighting a deeper structural decline rather than a one-off setback. The playoff loss to the Bosnia and Herzegovina national football team underscores ongoing issues in youth development, tactics, and mentality—raising serious questions about how long a true rebuild will take.
