Italy Search for New Coach After Gattuso Exit

Published April 2, 2026 · Updated April 2, 2026 · Yahoo Sport

Gattuso is expected to step down after Italy's loss to Bosnia in the 2026 World Cup play‑offs, and the federation is considering Massimiliano Allegri, Antonio Conte and a third candidate.

Gennaro Gattuso is widely expected to leave his post as Italy’s head coach following the team’s failure to qualify for the 2026 World Cup. The 10‑man Azzurri lost on penalties to Bosnia and Herzegovina in the play‑off final, ending a streak of three consecutive World Cup appearances.

In the wake of the defeat, the Italian federation is looking for a replacement. The most discussed options include Massimiliano Allegri, who is currently coaching AC Milan, and former Italy boss Antonio Conte. A third candidate has also been mentioned, though no name has been confirmed yet.
