Italian Football Federation (FIGC) president Carlo Tavecchio has called a meeting to discuss the country's failure to qualify for next year's tournament in Russia. In quotes reported on figc.it, Tavecchio said: "We are deeply bitter and disappointed for the failure to qualify for the World Cup, it's a sports failure that needs a shared solution and for this reason I called a meeting with all the federal components to conduct a thorough analysis and decide on future choices."

Ventura, 69, who is under contract till 2020, apologised after the match, but stopped short of resigning. "At this moment I can only apologise to the Italians, not for the will or effort but for the result which as I know is the main thing. I arrived late (for the press conference) because I wanted to say goodbye to the players one by one. Have I resigned? No, because I haven't even spoken with the (Italian Football Federation) president. There's an infinite number of things to evaluate, I'll speak with the federation and evaluate."
