Italy boss Cesare Prandelli Quits Tuesday June 24,2014



Italy boss Cesare Prandelli quit on Tuesday June 24,2014 night after his side were controversially eliminated from the World Cup

  • Prandelli stepped down after Italy were beaten 1-0 by Uruguay in Natal
  • The loss saw the Azzurri finish third in group D bow out of the World Cup
  • Uruguay finished second in the group behind Costa Rica
  • Prandelli replaced Marcello Lippi as Italy boss after the 2010 World Cup.
 

Prandelli told his post-match press conference: 'I talked to the president of the federation.. and gave my resignation.
'The technical set-up didn't work, and I take all responsibility for that.
'Something has changed since my contract was renewed. I don't know why. I chose a certain technical plan and that's why I'm resigning - because it did not work.'
Prandelli added: 'A second European Championship, third at the Confederations [Cup] and the qualification obtained in advance should not be under-estimated.
'The match was well-balanced in equal numbers, but the sending-off changed it all.'
Prandelli was not the only man to fall on his sword with president Giancarlo Abete also stepping down.
