Fabio Capello, a former renowned coach, gave an interview to the Spanish newspaper Marca, in which he commented on Italy's elimination by Bosnia and Herzegovina in the World Cup qualifying playoffs. Visibly emotional, Capello described this situation as 'unacceptable' for a national team with Italy's prestige, which has won the world trophy four times.

He described the event as a 'sporting tragedy' and a 'shame', emphasizing that it is one of the most serious moments in the recent history of Italian football. Capello expressed concern that no one is taking responsibility for this failure, calling for the resignation of the federation president and the entire leadership.
