Former legendary Azzurri midfielder, Gennaro Gattuso, will be the new coach of the Italian national team.
The news was confirmed by renowned Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, who announced in a post that the agreement has been reached and Gattuso will be made official next week.
Gattuso's appointment as Italy coach comes at a critical moment for "La Nazionale", which has a clear mission ahead of it: returning to the "2026" World Cup, after missing out on the last edition.
Gattuso, known for his fighting spirit on the pitch and his uncompromising passion, is expected to bring a new spirit to the national team.
After a solid coaching career at clubs such as Milan, Napoli, Valencia and Marseille, he will now face the biggest challenge of his career - leading Italy in a world competition.
