Italy football federation chief resigns

Italian ​football federation chief Gabriele ​Gravina ⁠resigned on Thursday, after the ‌national team failed ‌to ‌qualify ⁠for the ⁠World Cup for the third ​time ‌in a row

Gravina, in charge of ‌the FIGC ​since 2018, had ⁠been urged by the ‌Italian Sports Minister Andrea Abodi to step down after Italy’s defeat ‌on penalties in ​the playoff against ⁠Bosnia and Herzegovina ⁠on Tuesday.

The following day, Gravina said he would not resign but a board meeting next week would decide whether he will keep his position.

“It’s clear that Italian football needs to be rebuilt from the ground up and that starts with changes at the top of the FIGC,” Abodi said in a statement.
