MILAN -
The 66-year-old Italian made the announcement at a press conference on June 8, two days after Norway stunned Italy in Oslo.
"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.
"I had no intention of giving up. I would have preferred to stay in my place and continue doing my job. I'll be there tomorrow evening against Moldova, then we'll resolve the contract."
