I'm Italian and let me tell you that nobody, I repeat, nobody, has high expectations with Gattuso. The problem is that the national team, right now, is so bad that nobody wants to be manager when usually managing your own country should be an honor. Experienced managers like Ranieri and Pioli declined, many others are not available because they just changed team or signed new contracts, Ancelotti gave his word to Brazil, at the end there were Gattuso, Cannavaro and a few other names. Bad names. The only hope is that Gattuso can somehow motivate the players but, as I was saying, the players are pretty bad so if we don't qualify again I wouldn't blame Gattuso, I would blame the whole Italian football federation because they had years and years to change something and they didn't.
There's nothing to expect from FGIC as they never had long-term vision to their national squad. Gattuso is showing how FGIC is not even ready in managing the national squad. They have years to prepare, but clueless in the end.
I respect you as Italian, but your football federation is terrible, bruh. Gravina needs to be changed. Hope italy can play in the WC after they missed it two times in a row. I can only hope Gattuso to bring a miracle.
Trust me, we football fans are very aware that Gravina is the main problem but unfortunately football is just like politics: those who have the power don't want to lose it, they do everything to keep their position. The worst thing is that, as I was explaining, we know what the problems are, we know how to fix them, but we don't. Few people are ruining it for everyone.
