Can Gattuso lead Italy to the World Cup?

Can Gattuso lead Italy to the World Cup?
A new chapter is opening in Italian football — Gennaro Gattuso has been appointed as the head coach of the national team. This decision has sparked wide discussions among football fans and experts. However, among former world champions, there are quite a few who view this choice positively. One of them is former Brazil national team defender and Milan legend Marcos Cafu.

Cafu and Gattuso once played together for Milan. That’s why Cafu expressed warm thoughts about his Italian friend, calling him the most suitable candidate for the Italy national team:

“My close friend Gennaro Gattuso is the best choice for the Italy national team. He always kept his word, played on the field with his heart, and was passionate to the point of wildness. Such a person will only lead the team forward. I am sure he will cope with this task and take Italy to the World Cup.”

The Brazilian legend went on to say that Italy now needs a strong spirit, a true leader, and a man who gives everything for the cause — and these qualities belong to Gattuso. Cafu described him as a “coach who manages with his heart.”

It should be recalled that the Italy national team was last managed by Luciano Spalletti at Euro 2024. But after unsuccessful results, he resigned, and Gattuso took the helm.

During his career, Gattuso has worked as head coach for teams such as Milan, Napoli, Fiorentina, and Olympique Marseille. Now, his main task is to prepare Italy for the 2026 World Cup and win the fans’ trust.

The football community is now looking at the Italy team, which is just starting a new path, with hope. Whether Gattuso’s arrival will bring a new spirit and faith in victory to the team — time will tell. But according to Cafu, his friend will pass this test with dignity.
