Defending champions Italy faced early elimination from Euro 2024 and to say that they exited with dignity would be putting it kindly. Comfortably beaten 20 by Switzerland in the round of 16, the Azzurri failed to even mount a late fight, succumbing to their third winless game of the tournament.

To many, Italy's Euro 2024 campaign was one of their worst performances at a major tournament in a long time–a far cry from the team that triumphed at Euro 2021 amid a remarkable 37game unbeaten run. Coupled with Italy’s prior failures to qualify for consecutive World Cups, it leaves current manager Luciano Spaletti with difficult problems to solve.

So, what exactly went wrong for the Azzurri this time? Here’s why Italy were shockingly bad at Euro 2024.
