Italy’s head coach, Gennaro Gattuso, expressed both his regret and pride following the national team’s elimination from the World Cup. The disheartening defeat came after a penalty shootout loss to Bosnia.
«Today, the lads didn’t deserve such a crushing defeat. I am proud of them,» Gattuso stated. Addressing questions about his own future, he added: «Today, that is not important. The objective was to qualify for the World Cup.»
