Italy's national team captain spoke to Sky Sport's "Insider" programme about various topics, including Mancini's return and Azzurri's objectives.

"I believe we will return to achieving good results, qualify for the European Championship and World Cup. With Mancini's return, we will restore Italy to its rightful place." Donnarumma is certain of this and sent an important message ahead of the national team's upcoming matches. In his interview with Sky Sport's "Insider," the Azzurri captain spoke about the difficulties following the failure to qualify for the recent World Cup and described Italy's current situation.

"I knew what kind of environment I would have to face, because that summer was not easy at all—it was very difficult. Now we must turn the page, become optimistic and positive again, and rebuild a strong team. Only we can do that," the goalkeeper said. He also emphasized the importance of the environment for the national team's upcoming matches: "All of us must write history together. All the young people were very sad watching the World Cup without us. But we must hold our heads high; there is no other choice."

Wembley - Between past and future, the 2028 European Championship final will be held at Wembley Stadium. In 2021, Mancini's Italy won the 2020 European Championship there. Donnarumma recalled that moment and specifically mentioned a photograph: "It was one of the most wonderful moments of my life, perhaps only matched by the birth of my son—that was the most wonderful thing. The image I will always remember is Mancini and Gianluca Vialli embracing after the final. This showed how much strength Gianluca brought to all of us, to our team."

Manchester City - Finally, Donnarumma also spoke about his second season at Manchester City, just days after they defeated Manchester United. "That victory was very satisfying. Maresca has shown great faith in me; he chose me as one of the team captains, and for me, to be able to take on this responsibility and represent this shirt is a great honour. He is very attentive to every detail, has helped me greatly and created a very positive atmosphere."
