Italy's sports minister has asked Gabriele Gravina, the head of their football federation, to resign. This comes after Italy, four-time world champions, failed to qualify for the World Cup for a third time in a row.

Italy's sports minister has called for Gabriele Gravina to resign from his role as president of the Italian Football Federation. This request follows a disappointing result for the nation. Italy, who have won the World Cup four times, will not play in the upcoming tournament. They failed to qualify for the World Cup for the third time in a row. This failure happened on Tuesday, leading to significant calls for change within the national football structure. The pressure on Mr. Gravina is now very high.
