Roberto Mancini has said he is likely to continue as Italy manager after missing out on qualification for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar following a 1-0 defeat to North Macedonia last week.

“I talked to Gravina; we are aligned on everything,” Mancini said in a news conference on Monday. “Let’s think about this match, then calmly we will think about everything, to understand what to improve in the future.”
