Luciano Spalletti·4-3-3
85OVR
Spalletti's 2026 Italy. Barella as the engine, Chiesa as the spark, Bastoni as the passer, and a side still built to suffer then strike.
If you only remember one name from this 2026 side it is probably Alessandro Bastoni. The engine also has to live with Nicolò Barella every week.
The honour this page is built around: Spalletti's Italy at the 2026 World Cup.
