MILAN: Italy's Sport Minister Andrea Abodi said on Wednesday (Apr 1) the head of the country's football federation should step down after the national team failed to qualify for a third consecutive World Cup.The Azzurri fell at the play-offs again, this time after a penalty shoot-out against Bosnia and Hercegovina on Tuesday, and will miss this summer's finals in the United States, Canada and Mexico.The head of the federation (FIGC), Gabriele Gravina, said he would not resign but a board meeting next week would decide whether he will keep his position."It's clear that Italian football needs to be rebuilt from the ground up and that starts with changes at the top of the FIGC," Abodi said in a statement.Gravina has been in charge of the FIGC since late 2018, when he was elected to be the permanent replacement for Carlo Tavecchio who stepped down after Italy's first World Cup play-off disaster against Sweden the year before.A FIGC source confirmed to AFP that Gravina would hold a meeting on Thursday afternoon with the heads of Italy's three professional divisions, and both the the players and referees' associations.Some fans made their feelings known about Gravina and the FIGC by chucking eggs at the governing body's headquarters in Rome.Abodi's comments come amid hostilities between the Italian government and Gravina, who when speaking to the media after Italy's defeat lashed out at a perceived lack of support or football from the state.
