“Igor Tudor è sotto shock dopo che il consiglio di amministrazione della Juventus ha chiesto di liberare due giocatori chiave dopo aver annunciato la loro uscita”

Thursday’s reports claim that two Juventus and Italy legends in Leonardo Bonucci and Andrea Barzagli are in line to join the national team coaching set-up if Gennaro Gattuso is appointed the successor to Luciano Spalletti as CT

The FIGC are currently in talks with 2006 World Cup winner Gattuso to take over from Spalletti as head coach of the Italy national team.

Gattuso has already spoken directly with former teammate and head of the national team delegation Gianluigi Buffon, and is now due to speak directly with Federcalcio President Gravina to discuss the job further.

According to updates from Sky Sport Italia, it is likely that either Bonucci or Barzagli, or potentially both, join the national team coaching set-up if Gattuso is appointed.

Bonucci already holds a coaching job with the FIGC, as he was appointed assistant to Bernardo Corradi with the Italy U20s in October after completing his UEFA B license earlier in the year.

Barzagli has also held various coaching roles in the Italy youth set-up since 2020, from the U15s all the way up to the U20s. He also had a brief stint working as part of Maurizio Sarri’s coaching staff while the current Lazio boss was head coach of Juventus.

Two Juventus legends are reportedly in line for roles in Italy’s national team setup if Gennaro Gattuso is appointed as the new manager. According to reports, Gianluigi Buffon and Andrea Pirlo could join Gattuso’s coaching staff, bringing valuable experience and insight to the team.

*Potential Roles:*

– *Buffon:* Potentially taking on a goalkeeper coaching role or serving as a mentor to the team’s goalkeepers
– *Pirlo:* Possibly joining as a tactical advisor or assistant coach, leveraging his expertise to enhance the team’s performance

*Gattuso’s Plans:*

– *Revamping the Team:* Gattuso is expected to bring a fresh perspective and new ideas to the Italian national team
– *Incorporating Experience:* By bringing in Buffon and Pirlo, Gattuso could tap into their wealth of knowledge and experience to improve the team’s dynamics and performance

The potential appointments would be a significant coup for Gattuso, with Buffon and Pirlo’s involvement likely to generate excitement among Italian fans.
