Italy's Roberto Mancini made a strong return to manage his team, earning a win to start his debut as France's head coach. The Italian players displayed an impressive performance despite the challenging conditions and heavy rainfall.

Zidane praised his new team's skills and readiness, while Montella reflected on his side's underwhelming performance at Euro 2024. Italy will face France in their next match on Friday, with the French coach expressing his confidence in his team's ability to recover and perform well.",
