Italy's national team unexpectedly failed to qualify for the World Cup in Russia, and the country's football federation quickly parted ways with the team's coach Giampiero Ventura.
Finally, the changes also affected the federation itself, which was left without a president.
Damiano Tommasi, who will likely take over the top FIGC position, revealed to the press who will lead the team during the upcoming friendly matches.
It will be U-21 team coach Luigi Di Biagio, who will prepare the national team for friendly matches against Argentina and England on March 23 and 27.
"Right after the federation elections, we will have to start preparing for these matches and I hope Di Biagio is already working on the match plan," Tommasi said.
