I see that Gattuso has become the new coach of the Italian national team, and his competitors for this position were Cannavaro and Pioli. It is a bit strange for me to see such a decision, is Gattuso really better than Pioli? I do not remember any team where Gattuso could achieve any big results. And it turns out that Spalletti left after the defeat against Norway, I did not know about that either.
Gattuso only receive 2 Million Euros to become Italy's senior team coach, while Pioli get paid for 12 Million Euros, I think this the biggest reason. Since Italy force their coach must be Italian, hence Gattuso is selected even though his coaching history isn't great.
Let's see how Italy performance under Gattuso, my speculation is Italy won't qualify for the next round.
