Sacchi shared his thoughts on Gattuso's appointment, saying, "I am truly happy that the Football Federation has chosen Rino Gattuso as coach. This shows that moral values, the spirit of sacrifice, and selflessness are still important in our country, where these values are often forgotten."

"Gattuso has a strong connection to the national team, as evidenced by the Italy jersey tattooed on his skin. He is a generous and determined individual who never gives up, and I am confident that he will be able to share his ideas with the team," Sacchi added.

Sacchi believes that the Italian team has the potential to succeed and reach the World Cup. "I don't even want to consider the possibility of another World Cup elimination, especially after the disappointments in 2018 and 2022. Let's focus on a positive outcome," he said.

When asked for advice for Gattuso, Sacchi suggested that he should build a team of players who are reliable, both technically and personally. "When selecting players, look for individuals who are not only skilled but also have good human qualities. This will help create a strong team dynamic," Sacchi explained.

"Forming a group of players who enjoy being together, who share a love for training camps, and who are friends is crucial. The human aspect is essential, and I am sure that Gattuso, with his experience as a footballer, will prioritize this aspect," Sacchi concluded.
