The chosen one by the Italian national team after Claudio Ranieri's rejection 2zh2o

Italy has opted for a generational change in its coaching staff following the departure of Luciano Spalletti. Gennaro Gattuso will be in charge of leading the new project of the Azzurri national team, after Claudio Ranieri turned down the proposal to take over the national team. The former midfielder of Milan, who has recently become available after his time at Hajduk Split, has been the chosen profile by the federation to revitalize a team in need of identity and results.

Gattuso, known for his competitive character and intensity both on the field and on the sidelines, faces the most important challenge of his coaching career. Although his time at clubs like Milan, Napoli, or Valencia had its ups and downs, his figure commands respect among the Italian players, especially due to his history with the national team. His immediate goal will be to restore stability to a team that has suffered several setbacks in the last competitive cycle.

The FIGC's decision comes after days of meetings and speculations, where names like Ranieri were prominently mentioned. Ultimately, the refusal by the veteran Roman coach cleared the way for Gattuso to take the reins. His recent experience in Croatia has been modest in of results, but enough to keep him in the orbit of European national teams.

The next months will be decisive to see how Gattuso adapts to an environment completely different from that of clubs. With the challenge of qualifying for the 2026 World Cup and restoring prestige to the Italian team, the former player will have to impose his stamp on a squad in need of conviction and leadership. The expectations are high, and the margin for error will be minimal from the very first match.
