Former Italy coach Antonio Spalletti praised the dramatic turnaround he sees coming under Marco Gattuso. Spalletti, who guided Bologna and moved to the Italian national team before leaving, believes Gattuso’s fresh tactics are turning a struggling squad into a competitive side.
When Gattuso took over last season, he faced a club on the edge of relegation after a string of poor results. Using an aggressive 3‑5‑2 formation and a strong emphasis on work rate, Gattuso quickly reversed fortunes. The team now sits in the top half of the Serie A table and earned a spot in the Europa League.
Spalletti said he was impressed by Gattuso’s “energy and clarity.” “He has a clear game plan and it shows in how the players organize,” the coach noted. The Italian manager claimed that Gattuso’s leadership style is a major factor in the team’s confidence boost.
Until now, the side struggled to find a rhythm, suffering heavy defeats and a low points tally. Under Gattuso, the club has posted three consecutive wins and improved its goal‑difference. Players report feeling more motivated and disciplined, with a collective focus on defense and quick counter‑attacks.
The turn‑around is attracting attention from national team scouts. Gattuso’s approach aligns with Italy’s emphasis on solid defense and tactical flexibility. As the season progresses, clubs across Europe will watch to see if the revival continues.
While the coach previously led many young talents into the Serie A, he now suggests that Gattuso could be a future national team manager. If such a record continues, the team may challenge for European glory next season. The results underline how strong leadership and a coherent strategy can quickly change a team’s fortunes, a lesson that resonates across the football world.
