Raiola then criticised the FIGC – a federation at a low ebb following Gian Piero Ventura s ill-fated tenure.
The problem isn t the coach it s the football system. We have a federation that works without a plan or an idea for the future.
The national team should be represented by the best, so if the best don t go then we don t understand the criteria.
In other nations, when the national team plays, it s a party but for us it s a reason to fight. There s no plan or identity, all we do is change the manager.
Chelsea boss Antonio Conte and Balotelli s former manager at Inter and City, Roberto Mancini, have been linked to the post – the demands of which Raiola feels are beyond ex-Roma midfielder Di Biagio.
7 Only Kylian Mbappè is younger than Patrick among the Big-5 European leagues players with 7+ goals in the 2017/18 campaign. Future.

I would restart from the German system. We have a system similar to the English one, where the coach works as a manager, but Di Biagio isn t the right person for that, he added.
When things go well it s thanks to everyone, but when they go badly the coach takes the blame alone, even if he doesn t have any problems.
To have Balotelli in the national team you need a person with a strong character to manage him. Ventura wasn t that, in fact he was in total confusion and Di Biagio is showing the same thing.
The striker is just a player who scores, and if the dressing room doesn t want him then who is saying that? Do they have names and surnames? Do they control the dressing room or does the coach?
