The young Italian national teams are doing quite well, during the last years they reached some great achievements but the problem is that, in their clubs, they barely play for the first team, so there is no real growth, that's why more and more youngster are moving abroad, mainly to Germany but also Spain and England. I really don't know why so many Italian managers struggle to play with young players.
This gives me hope that these young guys can once again make the first team great, which at the moment is truly laughable if not tearful.
Then Gattuso as a coach, i love him but in my opinion it's not his job to be a coach.
He is a good motivator and a good guy
