    Gattuso Named Italy Coach Following Spalletti's Exit

    By IANS News June 16, 2025 • 00:00 AM View: 290
    UEFA World Cup Qualifying Group: Gennaro Gattuso has been named the new head coach of Italy’s national football team, the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) announced on Sunday. The appointment comes just days after Luciano Spalletti stepped down from the role.

    Spalletti, who took over the Azzurri in August 2023 on a reported three-year contract, resigned following a disappointing Euro 2024 campaign and a 3-0 defeat to Norway in Italy’s opening 2026 World Cup qualifier earlier this month.

    "Gattuso is a symbol of Italian football - the blue jersey is like a second skin for him. His motivations, his professionalism and his experience will be fundamental to best face the upcoming commitments of the National Team," FIGC President Gabriele Gravina said in a statement.
