Gennaro Gattuso remains the leading candidate to take over as head coach of the Italy national team after holding talks with FIGC President Gabriele Gravina and delegation chief Gianluigi Buffon over the last few days, Football Italia understands.
Where Gattuso stands after latest talks for Italy job
Italy are looking to appoint a new CT following the departure of Luciano Spalletti after the 2-0 win over Moldova on Monday night.
Gattuso is the current frontrunner for the job, and has recently held discussions with both Gravina and Buffon to discuss the project further. Gattuso met with Gravina on Thursday, where he was able to present his ideas for the new Azzurri project.
Football Italia understands that Gattuso remains the favourite for the Italy job after Thursday’s round of talks with Gravina.
Talks between Gattuso and the FIGC are now effectively at the final stages, and the federation are understood to be keen on making an appointment sooner rather than later.
What a nightmare . I can’t believe they think he is the right person to lead this team . He experienced have all
Been a disaster .
if they appoint him we will not make the World cup. what a disaster this is turning into.
Of course, Gravina would choose the option that doesn’t make sense. He needs to go. Gattuso hasnt done a thing noteworthy as a coach, even fumble CL qualification with Napoli.
Seriously !!! Gattuso, ain’t things bad enough already.
Mancini is a proven choice. Time is short. Get Mancini back as CT!
With Respect To Gattuso And Italy Don’t Be Egoistic As You Really Aren’t The Person Capable Of Being The CT Of Italy.
I Mean It In A Non Personal Manner And If You Become Italy’s New CT Then It Will I Believe Be A True Disaster For Italy’s National Setup For Years To Come.
The True Fans Won’t Forget Who Created This Mess Either
“Non c’e due senza tre”
We shall not be going to WC 2026.
I do hope that Gattuso will make us all “mangiare le parole”
