Immobile's playing career ended with 306 goals from 599 competitive appearances at club level, as well as 17 goals from 57 caps with the Italy national team. He was a EURO 2020 winner under Roberto Mancini in the summer of 2021 and was the Serie A top goalscorer in four different seasons. The Italy international will now serve as the delegation chief for the Italy U16 side, working under head coach Giovanni Costantino.
Immobile has expressed his enthusiasm for the new role, stating that it is a great opportunity for him to pass on his experience to the young players. "Doing it with these young lads is a great opportunity for me to get back into the game and, more importantly, to pass onto them everything that I have learned on and off the pitch," he said in a statement on the FIGC website. Immobile's first games with the Italy U16 side will come against Spain in a double-header at Coverciano on Tuesday, September 15 and Thursday, September 17.
