Andrea Pirlo is no longer in the running to become Italy's next manager after 'political' concerns were raised over the football legend's sponsorship deal with a Russian betting company. Pirlo‚ 47‚ was backed by former team-mate and new Italian Football Federation (FIGC) technical director Paolo Maldini to land the role after legendary ex-Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola reportedly declined the opportunity. The former AC Milan and Juventus star was on the brink of agreeing a deal with the crisis-hit football nation before several Italian politicians raised concerns about Pirlo's role as an ambassador for Russian betting firm Fonbet.

The 48-year-old took over the reins at Russian club FC Sochi in 2023‚ but last season saw Moreno adapt his methods in the dugout by using the software. Sochi were relegated from the Russian Premier League in May 2024 at the end of his first season with the club‚ but during their travails in the First League for the 2024-25 campaign‚ club officials noticed that Moreno was increasingly utilising the technology.
