"We had a few intense days at the federation, but I think in the end we made the best choices," Buffon said as quoted by Sky Sport, Monday, June 16, 2025.
Gattuso's presence in the coaching chair is expected to bring success to Italy after losing to Norway, as well as qualifying for the 2026 World Cup.
"We will start from where we always start after a few dark moments. The most important thing is to avoid embarrassing yourself."
"Winning is a difficult thing for anyone, but there is a difference between losing and losing in a certain way. We can intervene with action," Buffon said.
