STUNNER! Gennaro Gattuso to be appointed Kazakhstan’s new coach
“The level of football in this country is not great, actually it is not as god as we’ would like it to be. However, our league is improving a lot and we need a focused choice.”
The Kazakhstani FA has also revealed why they’ve chosen Gattuso “For his history, for his remarkable experience as a footballer and for his mentality. He loves challenges and he’s a fighter, we need a manager who also wants to be a leader.”
“He will spend lot of time with us, live our reality and know all our football clubs. It was nice to talk to him.”
What we are talking about is probably a long-term plan, though the details of Gattuso’s contract have not been disclosed yet.”
Kazakhstan sit in 116th place in the UEFA Ranking at the moment.
Gattuso, is currently in charge of Lega Pro side Pisa, though his experience on the Tuscan’s bench is not going to last for too long.
“Property and project have changed”, Gattuso has recently said.
“We don’t share the same ideas anymore and there is not the same familiar environment that there used to be at the club when Mr. Lucchesi [the former owner of the club] was here.”
Before he was appointed as Pisa boss last summer, Gattuso had already coached Sion (Switzerland) and Ofi Creta (Greece).
