Gennaro Gattuso has been appointed as the new head coach of the Italian football team, succeeding Luciano Spalletti. The FIGC President, Gabriele Gravina, hailed Gattuso as a symbol of Italian football, emphasizing his dedication, professionalism, and understanding of the national team's objectives. Gattuso's coaching journey has been challenging, with mixed results since his playing days, including a notable stint at Napoli where he won the Coppa Italia. His appointment follows unsuccessful negotiations with Claudio Ranieri, marking a new chapter for the Azzurri as they face upcoming challenges.
Gattuso is a symbol of Italian football, the shirt is like his second skin. His motivations, professionalism and experience will be fundamental in taking on the next challenges of the National Team.
The FIGC turned to Gattuso after failing in a bid to appoint Claudio Ranieri, who opted instead to remain in a senior advisor role at Roma.
Gattuso had a wonderful playing career but has not found it easy to replicate that success as a head coach.
It was in Naples that he claimed the only silverware of his managerial career - the 2020 Coppa Italia, but his tenure ended in May 2021.
