Gattuso seems less suitable to be the coach of the Italian national team, although he is good as a player, it seems that in his career as a coach it is still not showing good results. I haven't followed the news about Gattuso for a long time after coaching Marseille, but in my opinion he might be the last option. It seems that Italy having a little trouble finding a coach, seen from the current condition where Rannieri are also rumored refused to coaching Italy.
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.
After several coaches rejected the offer to become coach of the Italian national team, I think that was the last choice made by Italy. And in terms of his track record during his time as a coach, Gennaro Gattuso has not had many good results at several of the clubs he has coached.
Maybe he got a little success when he coached Napoli and succeeded in bringing Napoli to become champions in the Coppa Italia. After that I don't know whether Gennaro Gattuso had any other achievements apart from his time at Napoli at that time.
And the reality is that not all great players can become great coaches.
Fair point about his coaching record, but with Gattuso, it’s not just about tactics or trophies. The man once played nearly a full match on a torn ACL and didn’t even tell anyone until the final whistle. That’s not normal — that’s pure willpower. He’s built different, like his father used to say: a carpenter doesn’t talk much but gets the job done. Maybe that grit is what Italy needs right now.
