Luciano Spalletti bows out of his post in charge of the Italian national team with a visit from Moldova on Monday evening.
The Azzurri suffered a hefty 3–0 defeat to Norway in their opening match which cost Spalletti his job. The reverse has already left Italy playing catch-up to their Scandinavian foes after conceding three first-half strikes and extending their winless run to four matches.
Italy should have no issues brushing Moldova aside, though. They demolished the European minnows the last time they crossed paths, winning 6–0 in an international friendly in 2020. FIFA’s 154th-ranked country have lost both their qualifiers to date, conceding eight across defeats to Norway and Estonia.
Here is guide to the clash.
