I think that a national team should be managed by a more experienced coach, especially one who has already proved the ability to win titles at club level. But if you look at Gattuso's rather modest coaching career, there is nothing remarkable about it. So I can easily assume that the national team under Gattuso could be even worse than the one under Spalletti. Of course, these are just my assumptions. I have always supported the Italy national team. I have always liked them as a team, but lately they have been going through tough times, and I do not think it will end with Gattuso.
I myself am also confused on what basis and consideration they appointed Gattuso as a coach because as explained his ability and experience cannot be said to be sufficient to manage a national team and again the quality of the Italian team players is currently mediocre compared to previous years which makes it necessary to have a great coach there who I believe is not Gattuso. I think there are still many great coaches from Italy if they really want the one who handles their national team to come from the same country.
This is surely huge disappointing announcement from the Italian soccer federation but here few more things which encourage them to have Gattuso as coach their first choice many big names already rejected this offer then federation have no other choice to bring him as coach.
Firstly they contact with veteran Claudio Ranieri, but his response was not positive after this second was Stefano Pioli who also rejected this offer after three rejections they bring this unwanted choice for this spot at this challenging time became now it's make-or-break situation for the Italian soccer which is looking for having spot into top 48 teams for FIFA World Cup from where they were absence for last two occasions. With this choice mostly soccer fans are not expecting any positive development in Italian soccer even mostly are feeling they are going to lose another chance of going into world cup.
