⚠️ It's over, Gattuso won't stay on with Italy after Bosnia flop 🇮🇹 Gennaro Gattuso is set to leave his role as Italy manager after the elimination in the World Cup playoff, following the defeat to Bosnia. This was reported by Gianluca Di Marzio, who stressed that there is no turning back Gattuso, a world champion in 2006 as a player and currently the national team coach, tried to be the man who would end Italy’s ordeal, but ultimately failed, with confirmation that Italy would miss the World Cup for the third time. The Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport had already reported that the coach was considering stepping down, despite the Italian Football Federation’s (FIGC) intention to keep him in the role.
“I asked him to stay (Gattuso), he is a great coach. You did not see the moment of great humanity in the dressing room between him and the players, with whom there is great harmony. They were heroic, they gave everything.
Afterwards you will make your assessments, but the technical side must undoubtedly be preserved” , said FIGC president Gabriele Gravina after the elimination against Bosnia. Conte and Allegri, the candidates for Italy manager With Gattuso’s departure taking shape, Antonio Conte and Massimiliano Allegri are currently the main candidates to take over as Italy manager, a decision that would mark the beginning of a new strategic cycle ahead of the next major international tournaments. While Conte would represent a return to the style of intensity and discipline he already instilled in the national team, the option of Allegri would offer an approach based on tactical management and balance, leaving the Italian Federation facing the dilemma of choosing between two of the most decorated coaches of the last decade.
