The former Napoli boss said after the game: “I take responsibility for what happened. I put the team together. It’s part of the process of getting to know the players. I’m not happy with our performance tonight.”
“It’s part of the process. All the other coaches had at least 20 games before this Euro. I’ve only had 10 games and we’re always under pressure, ‘must win, must win’.
“I should know my team a little better to be able to manage things better. We also have a lot of injured players.”
He added: “There is the possibility of building something, but it takes a little more time. I didn’t have a lot of it. If we look at my predecessors, almost all of them had more games than me.”
Spalletti was appointed Italy’s national team manager in August 2023, following the resignation of Roberto Mancini.
He made six changes to his starting lineup against the Swiss, but instead of instilling energy and creativity into the team, they looked disjointed and without invention, and barely managed a shot on goal.
