"I spoke to President Gravina in recent days, we are aligned on everything. We will talk about it again calmly, we will see what to improve".
This was said by Roberto Mancini, the Italian coach, talking about his future and letting it be understood his intention to remain at the helm of the national team, then to say yes to Gravina's invitation to remain at the helm even after failing to qualify for the World Cup.
"Why do I think I can stay? Because I'm young, and with these guys I think I can still have fun", he said again.
"We cannot go back, to recover what we will not have in November, but we can look forward".
