The Coach resigned after a 1-0 defeat to Uruguay sealed their World Cup exit in the group phase.
“We need everyone to help and have the desire to turn over a new leaf. There has to be a technical project that starts from the youth academies,” said Prandelli in a Press conference.
“There also has to be more collaboration from the clubs and more love for the Nazionale.
“We are one of the few national teams to leave for a tournament without the support of our fans. We always have to win them over, game by game.
“When we left, we were almost ashamed, as there were insults and jeers… We no longer have a sense of patriotism and our own anthem is jeered in stadiums.
“We must go back to teaching real sporting values in the youth academies.”
