Former Italy national team defender Marco Materazzi expressed his thoughts about the new coach of "Squadra Azzurra". This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
According to him, the new head coach is Gennaro Gattuso, with whom he previously served in the national team. Materazzi also revealed who Gattuso's main defender is.
Materazzi stated that Gianluigi Buffon strongly supported Gattuso's appointment and practically took responsibility for it. If the necessary results are not achieved, Buffon is ready to take responsibility.
For this reason, it was emphasized that Gennaro Gattuso already has an excellent defender. It is worth noting that Materazzi ended his playing career in 2015.
His opinions were cited by pianetamilan.it. Despite the significant tasks ahead for the new coach and the team, the former player expressed confidence in Gattuso.
