Despite winning the European Championship in 2021, things have hardly been smooth sailing for reigning champions Italy of late.
After losing 2-1 at home to England in the first leg of the Euro 2024 qualifying cycle, head coach Roberto Mancini has since surprisingly left his post, swapping Italy’s national team for Saudi Arabia’s in recent weeks.
That hardly boosts confidence in the side, so a trip to North Macedonia, who famously knocked them out of the World Cup a couple of years ago, probably couldn’t have come at a worse time.
New head coach Luciano Spalletti has enjoyed a glorious season in charge of Napoli in 2022/23 but is under huge pressure to ensure Italy miss out on another major tournament.
However, the Azzurri have lost just one Euro qualifier since September 2006 and despite recent turmoil here, they remain well-placed for another win.
