Italy coach Cesare Prandelli has offered to resign following the team's elimination from the World Cup, he told a news conference.
Italy, four-times world champions, lost 1-0 to Uruguay to finish third in Group D.
Prandelli said: "I talked to the President of the Federation and Demetrio Albertini, and gave my resignation.
"The technical set-up didn't work, and I take all responsibility for that. Something has changed since my contract was renewed. I don't know why. I chose a certain technical plan and that's why I am resigning, because it did not work. My resignation is irrevocable."
