The moment nobody wants to coach a team or the only ones that would want are having a better deal right, is the moment you know it's not worth trapping yourself in this situation. The team and the players suck, that's known to eveyone, you need a completly new strategy, you need a change in the palyers without angrying top teams that would see that as an insult and a money loss, you need to navigate your ways around the higher ups that have created this but funny enough they are not takign the blame but still the ones that can fire you and much more..

Unfortunately, the team now needs a manager who would be hard to go against, someone loved by the fans, someone with achievements that would be hard to say even a word to when he says you're out of the team, next! And Gattuso is not this man!
 

I don't think anyone has one
not even him
But in the end he was the only one who said yes, the others all said no

Changing at this point was not a very wise move in my opinion, but we know very well that sometimes managers make really stupid choices
they had to fire them.

It still baffles my imagination that the Italian male national team is in the hands of no better manager but Gattuso. Is that Italy doesn't care about his coaching history or there are not other viable options to give the job to but Gattuso.

Mancini could have been a beacon of hope that Italian team would secure a qualifying spot to the world cup considering the tight corner the team is in not Gattuso who has not particularly strategy that has ever worked for him as a coach.

If they hadn't tried - it's unlikely they would have gone straight to Gattuso. I agree, it's not the best option, but whether it was a mistake will only be realised after the team's official performances, not before. Moreover, it will be very difficult to judge on one match, and the result is expected as a rule immediately, fans are not patient

Well from what i followed Gattuso in last couple of seasons with teams he coached,he was really solid. But i think that Italy just dosent have enough quality players. Italy isnt like it was a couple of years ago and there arent any big superstars that can carry the team. I honestly dont see Italy getting better no matter who is coaching them.

I don’t also have confidence in him, but since it is a national team and he knows most of the good players because he has coached in the Italian Serie A, he can do better to help regain the Italian National team. Let’s forget his past record and some he has learned better to become a better coach, because I think national team success depend on the available players the coach will call to represent his team in any competition.
