Re: FIFA World Cup 2026 :Canada/Mexico/United States: Discussion Thread
Let him be happy, he still can't distinguish Gattuso as a player and as a coach. His achievements as a coach, only the Coppa Italia with Napoli so far. The rest, as you mentioned 
Let's try to be realistic, Italy is currently lacking players who are have strong champion mentality after the era of Del Piero, Totti, Maldini, Materazzi, Buffon, even when Gattuso was a player. Italy's target is to qualify for the World Cup, but making Gattuso a coach is a very controversial decision, from very minimal achievements and tends to end in dismissal, this lack of players will make it more difficult for Gattuso to prove that he is capable of being a coach who can save Italy.

I don't like him and i never liked him, he's a generous and heartfelt player but not very technical. i like players and therefore technical and tactical coaches, like Inzaghi, like Pirlo. In short, there were many choices, i don't understand the reason to take him.
