Gattuso could manage the Italian national team - Spalletti is out

A new era may begin in Italian football. Former legendary player and current coach Gennaro Gattuso, who has completed his contract with Hajduk, is seen as the main candidate to manage the Italian national team.

The 47-year-old specialist may return to football as the leader of the national team. According to reports, the Italian Football Federation has identified Gattuso as the number one candidate for the position of head coach.

In addition to Gattuso, two other famous names are in the running for the position of coach - Daniele De Rossi and Fabio Cannavarro. However, it is said that the federation leadership is in favor of choosing Gattuso. The reason is that his fighting character and ability to influence players are highly appreciated.

Recall that the Italian national team lost in the first match of the World Cup qualifying round. Following this result, the current coach Luciano Spalletti officially announced his resignation.

Gattuso previously coached Milan, Napoli, Valencia and Marseille. Under his leadership, the teams were known for their fighting spirit, discipline and mental stability.

If the federation officially announces the decision, the Italian national team will begin the new World Cup qualifying phase with a new spirit and under a new leader. This could pave the way for new history.
