Former AC Milan legend Gennaro Gattuso has officially resigned from his position as head coach of the Italian national football team following Italy’s failure to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The shocking elimination marks another disappointing chapter for the Azzurri, who also missed the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. Gattuso’s departure comes after mounting pressure from fans and the Italian Football Federation following the team’s poor performance in the qualification campaign. The 46-year-old coach, who took over the role with high expectations, was unable to guide the four-time World Cup winners to the tournament that will be jointly hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Italy’s absence from consecutive World Cups represents an unprecedented crisis for one of football’s most successful national teams.
