 Due to his disagreements with Sacchi, Baggio was called up to the national team less frequently, only making one more substitute appearance in a 1–0 home win against Slovenia in a Euro 1996 qualifier in September 1995.He eventually lost his spot in the squad, missing out on Italy's Euro 1996 squad, despite winning the "Scudetto" that year with A.C. Milan.Sacchi justified his decision by stating Baggio was not fully fit, and that Enrico Chiesa helped the team more when possession was lost.
