Italy national team parts ways with Gattuso – New candidates revealed

Gennaro Gattuso will leave the head coach position of the Italy national team.

“Elchi” reports, citing “Sky Sport”, that this decision was made after the team failed to qualify for the 2026 World Cup.
The Italy national team lost to Bosnia and Herzegovina in the final of the play-off stage (1:1, penalties – 1:4).

Antonio Conte from “Napoli” and Massimiliano Allegri from “Milan” are mentioned as the main candidates to replace him.

It is worth noting that Gattuso was appointed to the head coach position of the Italy national team last summer, replacing Luciano Spalletti.
