The worst kept secret in Italian football has just come to light: the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) has officially appointed Gennaro Gattuso as national coach.

"Gattuso is a symbol of Italian football, the azure shirt is for him like a second skin", declared the president of the FIGC, Gabriele Gravina in official media.

The new coach of Italy will be presented on Thursday, June 19, at 11:00 a.m., at the Parco dei Principi Hotel in Rome.

How long is Gattuso's contract?

The details of the contract are still unknown, the FIGC has not published them, but the main Italian newspapers report that he has signed a one-year contract with the option to renew, with a salary less than 2 million euros per year.

Gattuso will coach Italy after a checkered career on the benches that includes stages at clubs such as Valencia, Olympique de Marseille, Fiorentina, Napoli, Milan, OFI Crete or, most recently, Hajduk Split.
