Italy's National Team Leadership Salaries: Roberto Mancini and Claudio Ranieri

The appointment of Roberto Mancini as Italy's head coach and Claudio Ranieri as technical director surprised many. Announced by Giovanni Malagò during a challenging period for Italian football, the decision sparked debate among fans and experts alike.

Contracts and Earnings

Mancini, who had left the role three years earlier to coach in Saudi Arabia, returned with a contract reportedly worth about c2 million net annually, plus bonuses. Reports suggest Ranieri will earn less than 1 million per year as technical director.

Despite initial criticism, Mancini expressed his eagerness to guide the national team once again, even offering apologies publicly and privately for his previous departure.

Goals Ahead

Both are tasked with reviving Italian football and preparing the team for the 2030 World Cup. Their work aims to strengthen Italy’s standing on the global stage in the coming years.
