Transfer expert Dimazio said that Silvio Bardini will become the new head coach of the Italian U21 national team.

The Italian U21 team ended in the quarterfinals this summer's European Youth Championship, and the former coach Nuziatta has been dismissed. Dimazio revealed that Italian Football Association Chairman Gravina has determined to choose Silvio Bardini as the new head coach of Italy's U21. Before making this decision, Chairman Gravina also had discussions with Italian national team coach Gattuso and Italian team leader Buffon and reached an agreement.

Silvio Baldini has coached several small and medium-sized teams in Italy. Last season, he led Pescara to successfully advance to Serie B. Dimazio said that the Italian Football Association has not issued a formal announcement yet and may wait for the Italian U20 and U19 team to confirm the new coach before officially announcing it together.
