Despite failing to compete in the 2922 Qatar World Cup, European champion, Italy, did not remain silent. After the first match between Qatar vs Ecuador in the World Cup, Italy will face Austria in Vienna.
In the previous game, Italy won 1-3 over Albania in Tirana. The Azzurri, who were behind earlier, managed to get up and hit the host’s goal 3 times. The 3 winning goals for Italy were scored by Lorenzo and Grifo.
Roberto Mancini’s troops failed to penetrate the World Cup level twice in a row. The first was in 2018 in Russia, and the second was the 2022 World Cup in Qatar because Italy lost to North Macedonia in the semifinals of Group C in the European zone.
However, Italy can become champions of the Nations League after a 1-0 win over England. Unfortunately in Finalissima, Italy defeated Argentina.
Meanwhile, Austria also failed to qualify for the 2022 World Cup. Das Team only finished fourth in their qualifying group and lost 2-1 to Wales in a playoff at Cardiff City Stadium in March.
Noted, it has been more than 20 years Austria did not participate in the World Cup stage. Austria last won this major competition in 1998.
Now Austria is trying to reorganize its troops. The federation terminated Franco Foda’s contract, and appointed former Manchester United manager Ralf Rangnick as head coach.
