Italian Football Association Chairman: It s a pity that Serie A lost Retegi, Italy must advance to the World Cup

Italian international Retgi is about to transfer from Atlanta to join the Saudi team Cadisia, and Italian Football Association Chairman Gravina commented on this.

Retjee was the top scorer of Serie A last season, but now he will leave the Serie A. Chairman Gravina first said: "It is very regrettable to lose this player who has made a significant contribution to the Italian national team at this time. This is the impact of globalization and the negative side. We cannot limit the market economy. These are economic principles and will be respected."

Chairman Gravina continued: "Obviously, the national team will still pay attention to him. But everyone knows that for an important league like Serie A, we need excellent players in order to maintain competitiveness. Retegi is an important player, but unfortunately he left Serie A, and other players have had similar situations. We hope to keep them in the best way."

Sarenitana had previously lost to Sampdoria in the relegation play-off in Serie B and was relegated to Serie C. Sarenitana appealed for this, and they believed that Sampdoria had been relegated and was not qualified to replace Brescia, who had financial problems, in the play-offs. However, Sarenitana's appeal has been rejected. Chairman Gravina said: "We accept the judgment, and we are satisfied with this judgment, which proves that our work is correct. We regret that an important team like Sarenitana has not achieved good results, but the rules are rules, and we abide by the rules."

Italy has fallen out of the top ten in FIFA's latest standings. Gravina continued: "We must work hard and start winning our own games. We must participate in the World Cup, without any excuses. We must focus on achieving this goal."

Finally, Gravina talked about the change of coaches of several Italian national youth teams. "The entire structure of the national youth team is changing. We have changed in the national team. Now it will be U21, U20, and U19. I hope that by this weekend, or at the latest, at the beginning of next week, the new coaches of several national youth teams can be determined."
