The Italian Football Federation has officially announced the appointment of Gennaro Gattuso as the head coach of the national team. The 47-year-old specialist has been tasked with leading the Italian national team to the 2026 World Cup.
Gennaro GattusoGennaro Gattuso will be working with the national team for the first time in his career. Previously, he has worked with the following clubs: “Sion” (Switzerland), “Palermo” (Italy), OFI (Greece), “Pisa” (Italy), “Milan” (Italy), “Napoli” (Italy), “Valencia” (Spain), and “Marseille” (France).
Fans are divided in their opinions. Some believe in Gattuso, while others think a more qualified specialist could have been found and are calling for the president of the Italian Football Federation, Gabriele Gravina, to resign.
Adriano Silvestri: Unfortunately, with such poor players as he has, he cannot perform miracles.
Sergio Savini: So, if Gattuso was the best possible choice, think about others! Sorry, but Gattuso has no culture, no abilities, no patience, no education, let alone the know-how needed to head the national team, four-time world champion! Gravina, get out!
LaEle: Fired from everywhere and appointed coach of the national team, great strategy, I would say.
Onur Turhan: Coach of the Italian national team!!! I really do not understand what Italians think about this choice. Gennaro Gattuso --> Italian National Team. Igor Tudor --> “Juventus”. Both have achieved nothing in their coaching careers. But they are coaching at such a level!!
Gianluca Fidene: Now you have hit rock bottom... and started digging.
Radio Berto: Poor Rino, a very respected player, but as long as Gravina remains, I will be cheering against him.
Frank: Damn, I respect him so much that I’m sorry he is associating with these indecent people.
Nishant Shekhar: Rating 10/10. This team has poor ball possession and cannot break through the defense. Minimal ball possession and discipline. Gattuso will revitalize the team.
Luca Toselli: Good luck, Rino. You’ve chosen yourself a nice hot potato.
ValeCB: Remember the World Cup? Because, I’m afraid we’ll have to continue living in memories... but when will Gravina leave?
