The Legacy
Italy failed to qualify for the 2018 World Cup after a playoff loss to Sweden, marking the first time the nation missed the tournament since 1958. Gianluigi Buffon ended his international career in tears following the final whistle in Milan. Leonardo Bonucci and Giorgio Chiellini remained the defensive anchors throughout this difficult cycle. Ciro Immobile led the attack under heavy pressure to perform in qualification. Puma provided the gear for a squad that struggled to find rhythm or tactical identity. The failure prompted a complete overhaul of the national setup.
