New eras dawn for gli Azzurri and the Netherlands alike after these two sides experienced markedly contrasting World Cup campaigns in Brazil during the summer. The game in Bari on Thursday night will be former Juve coach Antonio Conte’s first game in charge of the national side after departing the Juventus Stadium in order to succeed Cesare Prandelli as Italy manager after the latter’s group phase exit in Brazil. Conte assumes the running of the Azzurri having led Juve to three successive Serie A titles; Italy fans are optimistic, therefore, that the squad’s fortunes look set to improve under his tutelage.
Holland, by contrast, surprised many commentators by thrashing Spain 5-1 in their opening group game in the World Cup before pressing on to reach the Semi-Finals where they exited at the hands of Argentina. The Dutch, though, have lost the seminal influence of Louis Van Gaal as manager after his high-profile appointment at Old Trafford. Guus Hiddink has large shoes to fill, therefore, as he assumes the running of the national side for the second time in his career; a win on Thursday would do much to settle Dutch fan’s fears that the KNVB have, in Hiddink, appointed a spent force as manager of an aging team.
