🇮🇹 Italy confirm Gennaro Gattuso's departure as head coach | OneFootball

The Italian national football team is undergoing a complete restructuring following the confirmation of Gennaro Gattuso’s resignation.

The Calabrian coach and the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) have agreed to terminate his contract by mutual consent, bringing to an end a nine-month spell in charge of the "Azzurra".

This departure adds to the recent resignations of Gabriele Gravina, until now the president of the FIGC, and the legendary Gianluigi Buffon. 

In his farewell, Gattuso highlighted the honor of having led the national team. The coach said it was only right "to facilitate future technical assessments" and thanked his players for their commitment.

Despite the brevity of his tenure, the coach underlined the pride he felt in defending the blue shirt and the constant support of the fans.

The FIGC has wished Gattuso and his staff success in their future professional projects. The federation now faces the challenge of rebuilding its sporting structure ahead of upcoming international commitments, amid an institutional vacuum unprecedented in recent times.
