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

When Giovanni Malagò revealed the appointments of Roberto Mancini as head coach and Claudio Ranieri as technical director for the Italian national team, many reacted with surprise and criticism. The timing was sensitive, as Italian football was going through a challenging phase.

Mancini, who had left the role three years earlier to manage Saudi Arabia, returned with a contract reportedly worth about €2 million net annually plus bonuses. This came after some controversy over earlier reports suggesting he might earn as much as €25 million per year, which sparked disapproval.

Besides Mancini, Claudio Ranieri joined the setup as technical director, earning under €1 million per year. Their mission is clear: to rebuild the national squad and guide Italy towards the 2030 World Cup.

Mancini has expressed regret over his departure in the past and showed eagerness to lead once again. Both he and Ranieri now carry the hopes of reviving Italian football on the world stage.
