#5 Mancini finally getting results to validate his progress
Roberto Mancini took over in May, and he was handed the task of rejuvenating a listless Italy side. The side he inherited was aging, and he had to bring some young faces in.
Trending
His side slowly began to play according to his preaching, and it was a possession-based brand of football. The likes of Jorginho and Verratti marshaled the midfield, and Insigne and Immobile spearheaded the attack.
But the results were not coming, and the pressure was mounting on him. Prior to the game, they had won just 1 game out of the last 10, which is a terrible number. But Italy were brilliant against Poland, creating loads of chances albeit lacking a finishing touch. Hopefully, the win against Poland can prove to be the turning point for Italy and Mancini.
