Gennaro Gattuso has officially stepped down from his position as Italy’s national team head coach following the team’s disappointing failure to secure qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The former AC Milan midfielder, who took charge of the Azzurri with high expectations, was unable to guide the four-time World Cup winners through the challenging qualification process. Italy’s absence from the World Cup marks another significant setback for the nation that won the European Championship in 2021. The Italian Football Federation is expected to begin the search for a new coach immediately as they look to rebuild and prepare for future international competitions. Gattuso’s departure comes amid intense pressure from fans and media following Italy’s struggles in recent international fixtures.
