Italy will miss the FIFA World Cup for the third consecutive time, raising serious questions about the future of head coach Rino Gattuso. Despite the recent defeat to Bosnia, Gattuso publicly expressed pride in his players’ performance but also offered an apology for the significant loss, acknowledging its importance given the national team’s past World Cup qualification struggles.
According to reports from La Gazzetta dello Sport, relayed via Calciomercato, Gattuso is reportedly considering stepping down from his role as manager. His current contract is set to expire in June, but he is contemplating an earlier departure. It is expected that Gattuso will engage in conversations with Gigi Buffon, and also consult with his family, before making a definitive decision.
While Gattuso is known for his resilience and not one to easily concede defeat, sources suggest that this particular decision will involve careful and extensive consideration over the coming weeks.
