Consensual termination of employment between the FIGC and Patrizia Panico

The FIGC and Patrizia Panico have agreed to terminate the current working agreement. Paolo Nicolato's assistant for the Under-21 and coach of the National Under-15 team, the former Italian forward had joined the Federation's technical staff in 2016 as Daniele Zoratto's assistant for the Under-16 team. She then took over as Coach of the Under-15 team, becoming the first woman to coach an Italian men's National Team.

In July 2020, she joined the coaching staff of the National Under-21 team, taking part in the final round of the European Championship a month ago.

The FIGC would like to thank Patrizia Panico for her work over the years and we wish her all the best in her future endeavours.
