Italy’s football reset has taken another major turn. Gianluigi Buffon has officially resigned from his role within the Italian Football Federation, becoming the latest high-profile exit after a disastrous period for the national team.
The decision follows the recent departures of head coach Gennaro Gattuso and federation president Gabriele Gravina. Together, these exits confirm a complete breakdown of the existing structure after Italy failed to qualify for a third consecutive FIFA World Cup.
Buffon, one of Italy’s most iconic figures, had taken up a role within the federation after his retirement from professional football. His presence was seen as a key link between the past success of Italian football and its rebuilding phase. However, the latest failure has led to sweeping changes across all levels.
Sources indicate that Buffon decided to step down as part of a wider reset within the federation. The move reflects the seriousness of the situation, with Italy now under pressure to rebuild both leadership and identity.
