Turin, 16 June (LaPresse) – "I'm happy for Gattuso. Being coach of the national team is an important and great thing for anyone. Rino may not have a great deal of experience in this regard, but he is a proven person. We know his temperament, but what makes you wonder is how the last period was handled. Spalletti still on the bench despite the defeat in Norway? To say that is a bit simplistic and ugly. It means that you are only interested in results. Planning is a different thing, I was perplexed by the methods and timing." These were the words of Roberto Donadoni, former coach of the Italian national team, speaking on Radio Anch'io Sport on Radio 1 Rai about the appointment of Gennaro Gattuso as the new coach of the national team, replacing Luciano Spalletti. "Is it a surprise? In some ways, yes. The image we all have of the coach is somewhat different; for example, Ranieri's name would have been a good fit in a certain way. The important thing is that whoever arrives has the desire and enthusiasm to work and, above all, has a federation with clear ideas behind them," added Donadoni.
