Luciano Spalletti has been at the helm of the Nazionale since 1 September 2023. The Azzurri coach, over the course of the last 8 months, has been in charge for 8 games, including 6 in European Championship qualification and two friendlies. His record so far reads 5 wins (3 in EQ, 2 friendlies), 2 draws and 1 defeat (all in EQ), with a total of 17 points from 24 available (average 2,12), a goal difference of +9, 17 scored (2,12 a game) and 8 conceded (1,00 per game). In 720’,  370’ (51,38%) were in the lead, level for 307’ (42,63%) and 33’ behind (4,58%).

The 5 goals scored against North Macedonia (5-2) in November are the highest in a single match, while the 4-0 against Malta remains the match with the best goal difference (+4).

Spalletti has called up 52 players, 36 of whom have played in the eight games. Barella and Raspadori with the most appearances (8 games), 7 games for Donnarumma, Dimarco and Frattesi. Bellanova (46’) was the least used among the 5 with 1 appearance (the others are Vicario, Gatti, Immobile and Tonali). Dimarco holds the record for most games as a sub (4 times), while Orsolini has been substituted the most (4 times in 4 games).
