That's a wrong decision by Italy to appoint Gattuso. I don't like the way he coached a football club. He's so harsh as a coach. I bet it won't actually work to fix Italy's problem. There are some names available such as DeRossi, Cannavaro, even Mancini. So why him?
It seems FIGC wants Italy becomes europe's Chile by appointing Gattuso. They will be missing WC three times in a row if Gattuso fails.
What we know so far is that Claudio Ranieri and Stefano Pioli refused to train the Italian national team. I assume they aren't sure if it is possible to save Italy and make it qualify to FIFA World Cup.
Gattuso isn't the best coach and he already failed with Marseille, yet he will have a better selection with the national team and he will most likely has few good pals helping him like Leonardo Bonucci, Gianluca Zambrotta and Simone Perrotta.
Gattuso has failed in so many clubs in a row. It's obviously a risky choice by Italy. I think he's even worst than Italy's last choice. Apponting him as a manager is obviously the lowest point reached by Italy ever.
He's never had good result in major team in the entire of his career. So i think this is very wrong to take him as a new manager. I think italy may not qualify again because of this.
