Khaleej Times

Spalletti spoke at a press conference before the Moldova match which comes after Norway stunned Italy with a 3-0 win on Friday, handing the visitors a humiliating start to their World Cup qualifying campaign. “Last night we were together with (Italian football federation) president (Gabriele) Gravina. He told me that I will be relieved of my position as coach of the national team,” Spalletti said.
