This is a list of managers and Technical Commissions that have guided the Italy national football team from 1910 to the present.

During the earliest days of Italy's national football, and until the end of the 1950s it was common for a so-called Technical Commission to be appointed by the Italian Football Federation. The Commission took the role that a standard coach would currently play. Since the 1960s, the national team has been controlled by a manager or head coach, sometimes supported by a technical director.
