Italian national team coach Roberto Mancini is determined to make serious changes.
The experienced specialist decided to radically rejuvenate the composition of the national team players, thus achieving an achievement not seen in the last 42 years by the "Azzurri".
In the Nations League match against Poland (1:1), the average age of the Italian national team players was 26.4 years, the lowest indicator since 1976.
At that time, coach Enzo Bearzot also began a generational change, and the result was more than eloquent - the title of world champions in 1982.
The current Italian composition is also noteworthy in that for the first time there was not a single 2006 world champion in it.
