Antonio Conte is set to return as Italy head coach, with reports saying the federation plans to give him a four-year contract through 2030. The move is framed as a long-term reset after another painful World Cup failure.

FIGC wants Conte to restore discipline, standards and identity after years of instability. Serie A clubs are reportedly supportive, viewing him as a demanding figure who can lift the wider system and prepare Italy for the next cycle.
