Gennaro Gattuso was named Italy’s new coach yesterday and will be tasked with helping the Azzurri qualify for the 2026 World Cup after replacing Luciano Spalletti.
The 47-year-old was part of the 2006 World Cup-winning side and won 73 caps for the national team as a player.
The Italian football federation (FIGC) said Gattuso would be presented to the media on Thursday.
“Gattuso is a symbol of Italian football,” said FIGC president Gabriele Gravina.
“The blue shirt is like a second skin for him. His motivation, his professionalism and his experience will be essential.
