European champions Italy will miss the upcoming World Championship in Qatar. On Thursday, Roberto Mancini's team sensationally lost 0:1 in the play-offs and had to admit North Macedonia's advantage, ending the fight for a ticket to the world championships. After the match, the Italian coach did not hide his disappointment and stated that his team lacked luck. "I am more than disappointed. I don't even know what to say. Something unbelievable happened last night. We deserved to win the European Championship, but today we were really lacking that luck. It is what it is. We have to accept this reality. I am just very sorry for my players," R. Mancini said after the loss. The Italian also did not rush to talk about his future at the helm of the national team. "We'll see how things go. Right now, I am too overwhelmed to talk about my future. I am sure that this team has a bright future ahead. I support my players now more than ever," added the Italian.
