Gabriele Gravina, the president of Italy's soccer federation, resigned on Thursday following intense political pressure after the national team's failure to qualify for a third consecutive World Cup. This decision came just two days after Italy's loss to Bosnia and Herzegovina in a qualifying playoff. Gianluigi Buffon, a legendary figure in Italian soccer and a member of the 2006 World Cup-winning team, also stepped down as the national team's delegation chief. Buffon expressed that it was time for new leadership to select his successor. Italy's Sports Minister Andrea Abodi called for a complete overhaul of the country's soccer leadership, stating that Italian soccer needs significant changes. The national team's struggles have been evident since 2010, with the last successful World Cup campaign occurring in 2006. An election for a new FIGC president is set for June 22, and discussions regarding the future of Italian soccer will continue in parliament next week. The new leadership will also be tasked with preparing Italy's stadiums for the co-hosting of Euro 2032 with Turkey.
