Following Italy’s failure to qualify for a third consecutive World Cup, turmoil continues within the Italian Football Federation.

While president Gabriele Gravina and team director Gianluigi Buffon have resigned, head coach Gennaro Gattuso remains in limbo.


Contract situation

Gattuso’s deal runs until this summer, making his role inherently transitional. The difference between immediate dismissal and staying is minimal—primarily compensation and overseeing two upcoming friendlies.


Governance gap

With no new federation president expected until June 22, maintaining continuity has become a practical option.


External views

Fabio Capello has suggested giving Gattuso more time, but public pressure remains intense.


Interim plan

If Gattuso steps down early, U21 coach Baldini could take charge temporarily until a long-term decision is made.
