Gattuso: "If Italy doesn't make it to the World Cup, I'll leave the country"

Italy's head coach, Gennaro Gattuso, made some powerful statements following the final matchday of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.

Clearly frustrated by the situation, the former AC Milan midfielder insisted he would leave Italy if his team failed to qualify:

Currently sitting second in Group I with 15 points, the Azzurri trail Norway (18 points, +26) by three points. With a goal difference of +10, Italy must beat Norway in the final matchday to avoid the playoffs and secure their ticket to the 2026 World Cup.
