Capello on Gattuso`s possible resignation: I would wait two more games. Former head coach of Serie A clubs Fabio Capello suggested not to rush into dismissing Gennaro Gattuso from the Italian national team.  
The Italian national team lost to Bosnia and Herzegovina in the 2026 World Cup qualifying play-off final (1:1, 1:4 on penalties) and will miss the third World Cup in a row.
It was reported that Gattuso will leave the post of head coach of the national team.  
In Gattuso`s case, I would wait two more games.  Let`s not forget that he took over the team after Spalletti and managed to instill character and determination in it.
Unfortunately, no matter how sad it is to admit, we paid for an elementary mistake of the player (we are talking about Alessandro Bastoni who received a red card – Sports), otherwise we probably would have won, ” Capello said on Sky Sport.
