Italy taps Gennaro Gattuso as new manager to take the reins from Luciano Spalletti
🔵 Boom! Gennaro Gattuso, the new Italian national team coach! 🔵
That's right, folks! The Italian Football Federation (FIGC) has announced that former AC Milan and Napoli manager Gennaro Gattuso will be taking over as the Italy national team coach. This appointment comes after the sacking of Luciano Spalletti following a heavy defeat by Norway in a World Cup qualifier last week. Gattuso will be officially introduced on Thursday at Rome's Parco dei Principi Hotel. 🏙️🇮🇹
The FIGC President, Gabriele Gravina, had some exciting words about Gattuso: "Gattuso is a symbol of Italian football - the blue jersey is like a second skin for him." Gravina believes Gattuso's passion, professionalism, and experience will be key to navigating the challenges ahead. 🏆
Gattuso, who guided Napoli to a Coppa Italia title in 2020 and was a member of Italy's 2006 World Cup-winning squad, is now tasked with getting Italy to the 2026 World Cup. It's a tall order, considering Italy missed out on the last two editions of the tournament.
According to a FIGC source, Gattuso has been given a one-year contract, including the World Cup in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. ✈️✨
As for Spalletti, he departed after a stint of under two years, overseeing his final match, a 2-0 victory against Moldova, just a day after revealing he had been dismissed following Italy's 3-0 defeat by Norway in their opening World Cup qualifier.
Gattuso began his coaching career as a player-coach at Swiss club Sion in 2013, after finishing his playing days with Milan. Since then, he's had quite the coaching journey, leading nine clubs, including Milan, Spanish side Valencia, and a brief stint at Ligue 1's Olympique de Marseille. 🌐🏀
Given the stakes, it'll be interesting to see how Gattuso steers the Italian ship. Keep an eye out for Italy's upcoming matches - they'll be hosting Estonia on September 5, followed by a trip to Hungary to face Israel on September 8. 💪🇮🇹
