Gennaro Gattuso will not become the head coach of the Italy national team, with plans for his appointment now officially coming to an end.
The decision follows mounting pressure within the national setup after Italy national football team failed to qualify for the FIFA World Cup 2026, following a shocking defeat to the Bosnia and Herzegovina national football team in the knockout stage.
That result has sparked widespread debate and led to swift changes on the technical bench, with fans and analysts calling for a new direction for the team.
Currently, Antonio Conte and Massimiliano Allegri are the leading candidates to take over, with the federation expected to make a final decision soon.
