Sacchi thinks that Spalletti is an excellent coach, but the problem lies in the fact that he was not able to work as he was used to in the national team. He needs to be in constant contact with the players and work daily on the pitch.
This approach was not possible in the national team, and it penalized Spalletti. Additionally, the clubs' focus on foreign players and lack of valuing Italian players also contributed to the problem.
Sacchi also thinks that Spalletti should take some responsibility for Italy's poor performances. He presented a team without character, ideas, and grit in Oslo.
Sacchi believes that Italy needs to make a cultural leap to have a high-level national team. The country's poor performance in the World Cup and the risk of not qualifying for the third time in a row are a result of deeper issues.
Sacchi suggests that there must be profound reasons for these problems and that it's not just the technical commissioners who are to blame. Perhaps Italy needs to review its general organization of football.
