Maybe, they haven't found yet their coach that will be a game-changer for the team. Though we don't know when will it come for the team, I would say, the players should work on how to improve their performance inside the field. It may be their motivation as to how they can show their best foot forward while playing. Sometimes, it would take just one gesture from one of the athletes, and everyone will follow thru. An inspiration for the whole team can change their path to show their best. Maybe, they haven't found that one yet.
I think that the Italian national team has good players who can compete at the top level with the big boys of world football because looking at the Italian seria A and even Seria B there are top quality Italian players who can compete at the highest level the main problem has been a quality tactical coach who can really bring out the best in the players.
Italia has not gotten it right when it comes to getting a good coach I don't believe that the Italian national team is in lack of players Italy should bring a coach that will have a clear cut out agenda for the national team because it's shameful not to see former world cup winners missing out on the world cup and even not doing well when it comes to the European championship
If Italy fails to qualify for the 2026 World Cup again, it would be very embarrassing and add to their bad record so far. It is true that Italy has good players, but in the hands of the wrong manager their performance will never be certain, in my opinion Gatttuso is no better than Spalletti. Many people doubt Gattuso ability, and question the decision of the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) to appoint him as the new manager.
In the future, Gattuso must be smart enough when calling players to strengthen the Italian National Team, he must compile a squad with experienced players and young players. In terms of tactics, I still see Spalletti as much better, but sometimes in certain situations, a manager like Gattuso is needed to improve the mentality of the players.
