Gattuso is currently available after leaving Hajduk Split at the end of last season. He is currently in Marbella, Spain, where his family resides. Further talks are expected to take place today between FIGC officials and Gattuso to discuss the details of a potential deal.

FIGC officials are reportedly offering Gattuso a contract that would take him through to the 2026 World Cup. Gattuso is said to be eager to accept the challenge, having previously led Italy to victory in the 2006 World Cup.

According to sources close to the negotiations, the atmosphere on both sides suggests that an agreement is nearing completion. The outcome of these talks will have a significant impact on Italy's football future.

With Gattuso's experience and the federation's desire to move forward, the stage is set for a potential new chapter in Italian football. The coming days will reveal whether Gattuso will accept the FIGC's offer and take the reins of the national team.
