The Euro 2020-winner is currently the Italy head coach but the Azzurri saw their World Cup hopes come crashing down when North Macedonia stunned Jorginho and company with a stoppage-time winner in the playoff semi-final. It means Italy miss out on consecutive World Cups for the first time in their history.

Multiple reports have now suggested that their manager — previously triumphant in the Premier League with Manchester City — will step down from his role with the national team.
