The captain of the Italian national team spoke to Sky Sport's "Insider" about Mancini's return, the Azzurri's goals, and more.

"I believe we will start getting good results again and qualify for the European Championship and the World Cup. With Mancini back, we will return to where Italy belongs." Donnarumma has no doubts about this and sends an important signal ahead of the upcoming national team matches. In an interview with Sky Sport's "Insider," the Azzurri captain spoke about the difficulties following Italy's failure to qualify for the last World Cup and described the current situation.

"I already knew what kind of environment I would face, because that summer was not easy—in fact, it was very difficult. Now we have to turn the page, become optimistic and positive again, and build a strong team once more. Only we can do that," said the goalkeeper. He also emphasized the importance of the environment for the national team's future matches: "All of us must rewrite history together. It was very hard for everyone to watch the World Cup without us. But we must keep our heads up; there is no other option."

Wembley – Looking between past and future, the 2028 European Championship final will be held at Wembley Stadium. In 2021, Mancini's Italy won the Euro 2020 title there. Donnarumma recalled that moment and specifically mentioned a photo: "That was one of the best things in my life, perhaps only matched by the birth of my son. The image that will always stay with me is Mancini and Gianluca Vialli embracing after the final. It shows how much strength Gianluca gave to all of us, to our team."

Manchester City – Finally, Donnarumma also spoke about his second season at Manchester City, just days after their victory over rivals Manchester United. "That victory was very thrilling. Guardiola trusted me greatly; he chose me as one of the team captains, and for me, being able to bear this responsibility and represent this jersey is a great honor. He pays great attention to detail, has helped me a lot, and created a very positive atmosphere."
