Italy national team manager Gennaro Gattuso and the Italian Football Federation have agreed to mutually terminate his contract following the Azzurri’s shocking failure to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. This marks the third consecutive World Cup that Italy will miss, following their absences from the 2018 and 2022 tournaments. The former AC Milan midfielder’s tenure comes to an end after failing to guide the four-time World Cup winners through what many considered a manageable qualification campaign. The Italian FA is expected to begin the search for a new head coach immediately as they look to rebuild ahead of future international competitions.
