Roberto Mancini led Italy to Euro 2020 glory during an impressive 37-game unbeaten run as they beat England 3-2 on penalties at Wembley Stadium.
Since taking over, Spalletti led Italy to qualification for the tournament and is unbeaten in six matches.
Now trying to emulate his predecessor’s success, the 65-year-old is confident his squad have what it takes to become just the second team to win back-to-back editions of the tournament.
“For any child that goes out every evening and sweats, grazes their knees, then we are their heroes, what they dream of,” he said.
It’s up to us to live up to that. Giants and heroes don’t go out with fear; they go out with passion and belief. Every one of us needs to ensure they have their toolbox and can screw or unscrew what they need to.
