Former Azzurri legend Gennaro Gattuso is set to become the new head coach of the Italian national team.
The news was confirmed by respected Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, who reported that an agreement has been reached, with the official announcement expected next week.
Gattuso’s appointment comes at a crucial time for Italy, as the team looks to bounce back after failing to qualify for the previous World Cup. The mission is clear: secure a place in the 2026 tournament.
Known for his tenacity and passionate leadership on the field, Gattuso is expected to inject fresh energy and determination into the squad.
Having managed clubs such as AC Milan, Napoli, Valencia, and Marseille, Gattuso now steps into the most demanding role of his coaching career—leading Italy back onto the world stage.
