A misjudged exit from Gianluigi Donnarumma against Turkiye prompted an animated reaction from Roberto Mancini,...
Italy secured a 3-1 victory over Turkiye at home on Monday night, climbing to second place in the Nations League Group A table.
Mancini’s reaction to Donnarumma’s misjudged exit
Goals from Gianluca Scamacca, Riccardo Calafiori and Francesco Pio Esposito allowed Roberto Mancini to win his second game from four, but the Italian tactician got scared in the second half while the Azzurri were leading 2-1.
At that point, goalkeeper Donnarumma came off his line with a poorly judged run, briefly leaving the Azzurri goal completely unguarded.
Luckily for La Nazionale, Turkiye didn’t capitalise on the chance, but Mancini’s worried reaction was caught on camera, showing the Azzurri boss shouting from the touchline: “Where the hell are you going, Gigio?”
Despite a minor error, Donnarumma was one of Italy’s top performers during the break, earning special praise after a 1-1 draw against France, where he made five crucial saves.
