Gattuso: I'll move far away from Italy if we don't qualify for 2026 World Cup
Gennaro Gattuso has seen Italy's improvements in the last two games against Estonia and Israel, but will only take credit if the Azzurri qualify for the World Cup.
I'll take credit if I reach the target; otherwise, I'll move away from Italy. I'm already living quite far away, but I'd go even further away.
Italy secured a play-off placement in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, beating Israel 3-0 in Udine, with Gattuso winning his opening four games as the Azzurri coach, seeing Italy score 16 times.
Gattuso was appointed in June to replace Luciano Spalletti and made his debut last month, also against Estonia and Israel.
