According to Italian media outlet Sport Mediaset, the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) is awaiting the opinion of the anti-corruption authority regarding the appointment of national team manager before deciding on Mancini's future after the season concludes.

The fates of Giovanni Malagò and Diana Bianchedi are intertwined. The FIGC president appointed the former Olympic fencer as national team manager, and both of their positions remain suspended pending decisions from the relevant authorities. Malagò faces procedural issues related to the FIGC election, while Bianchedi must resolve conflicts between her roles at the Italian National Olympic Committee (CONI) and the FIGC.

During the September-October break, the Italian national team will restart with Roberto Mancini's return. After the break, the relevant authorities are expected to clarify the future of FIGC management. Bianchedi visited the Coverciano training center for the first time on Wednesday, observed the national team training, and stood beside technical director Claudio Ranieri.

Without waiting for the anti-corruption authority's opinion, the FIGC proceeded to sign Mancini's contract and submitted all necessary documents to CONI for review. Since Bianchedi is a former CONI deputy executive director and former national committee member, the FIGC is awaiting the anti-corruption authority's opinion on potential conflicts of interest, scheduled for September 23. Bianchedi previously announced her withdrawal from the Milan-Cortina 2026 Foundation.

While the FIGC maintains it followed current regulations, an adverse ruling from the anti-corruption authority could demoralize Mancini's team and jeopardize Malagò's tenure. Malagò visited the Italian national team training center that morning. Only after Italy's matches against Turkey can CONI's national council decide whether to place the FIGC under administrative control.

This issue stems from a procedural irregularity during the election campaign: Malagò was not an FIGC board member when he was nominated in June. According to General Prosecutor Ugo Taucer's opinion, this matter requires further investigation. CONI president Luciano Buonfiglio confirmed this timeline at the executive committee meeting held on September 15. Therefore, Malagò need not worry about this during the season break; his future will be decided after Italy's matches against Belgium, Turkey, and France.
