The legendary goalkeeper wrote on Instagram.
“Now that President Gravina has chosen to resign, I feel free to do what I believe is the responsible thing to do. Despite my sincere belief that I have helped build a strong team spirit with Rino Gattuso and all my collaborators, the main goal during my short time with the national team was to bring Italy back to the World Cup. It didn’t work.”
“It is right to give those who come after me the freedom to choose the person they consider best suited for the role. Representing the national team is an honor for me and a passion that has followed me since I was a boy.”
