Pioli's Italy Hopes Fade as FA Eyes Gattuso & De Rossi: The Tactical Conundrum

Italy’s Managerial Merry-Go-Round Spins Again
As a football analyst who once tracked Pioli’s xG (expected gray hairs) during Milan’s injury crises, I’m not surprised to see his Italy candidacy cooling faster than a lukewarm espresso. According to Di Marzio, the FIGC is now eyeing members of their 2006 World Cup squad - specifically Gennaro Gattuso and Daniele De Rossi.
The Nostalgia Trap
Let’s crunch some numbers:
- Gattuso’s last 3 club spells averaged 1.48 points per game (PPG)
- De Rossi managed just 13 wins in 40 matches at SPAL
The romantic idea of ‘06 heroes saving Italian football ignores modern realities. As someone who once saw Gattuso attempt Champions League punditry, I can confirm passion doesn’t automatically translate to tactical nuance.
The Pioli Paradox
His Milan tenure showed flashes of brilliance (that Scudetto!) sandwiched between bizarre defensive collapses. My spreadsheets still have PTSD from their 5-0 Napoli defeat. Now linked with Fiorentina, he might prefer developing young talent over herding Italy’s aging golden generation.
Alternative Solutions?
The FIGC should consider:
- Waiting for contracts to expire (Conte’s available soon)
- Poaching Italiano from Bologna
- Actually investing in youth development (radical, I know)
As always in calcio, the safest bet is more chaos. At least we’ll get great memes when Cannavaro inevitably enters the conversation.

Đội hình ‘huyền thoại’ nhưng chiến thuật ‘ảo tưởng’
FIGC đang chơi trò ‘nhớ về 2006’ khi cân nhắc Gattuso và De Rossi? Xem số liệu thì thấy ngay:
- Gattuso: 1.48 điểm/game (thua cả U23 Việt Nam?)
- De Rossi: 13 trận thắng/40 trận (toàn gặp may!)
Pioli không phải cứu tinh
Ông này ở Milan khi thì vô địch, khi thì thua 5-0 - kiểu như đi ăn phở mà lúc ngon lúc nhạt không thể đoán trước!
Giải pháp tốt nhất? Cứ để Cannavaro dẫn dắt cho… vui! Ai cũng biết Ý giờ chỉ tạo meme là giỏi.

數據不說謊:懷舊不能當飯吃
看到FIGC考慮加圖索和德羅西,我的Python爬蟲都嚇到當機了!這兩位的執教數據比我的期末考成績還難看,加圖索帶隊平均每場只拿1.48分,德羅西在SPAL的勝率堪比便利商店抽獎中獎率。
06年英雄變教練災難
當年世界盃冠軍成員轉教練,效果跟把泡麵當正餐一樣——香是香,但營養不良啊!皮爾洛帶隊像在寫詩,大因扎吉戰術比我家阿嬤煮菜還隨性。現在連光頭裁判科里納都要被提名了嗎?
佛羅倫薩可能是最大贏家
皮奧利去帶紫百合搞青年軍說不定是好事,至少不用每天面對基耶利尼的退休倒數計時器。至於義大利隊?我賭五包科學麵下個月又會傳出卡納瓦羅接任的消息啦!
#你們覺得下一任會是誰 #來賭一包浪味仙

¿Nostalgia o Realidad?
La FIGC parece estar jugando al ‘¿Quién quiere ser entrenador?’ con los héroes del 2006. Gattuso y De Rossi, grandes en el campo, pero ¿en el banquillo? Mis datos dicen que sus números son más flojos que una defensa italiana en un contraataque.
El Caso Pioli
Pioli, ese genio loco que nos dio un Scudetto y después nos hizo llorar con defensas desastrosas. ¿Prefiere Fiorentina? ¡Comprensible! Mejor criar jóvenes talentos que lidiar con una generación dorada… envejecida.
Soluciones Radicales
- Esperar a Conte (siempre es la opción segura).
- Robar a Italiano del Bologna.
- Invertir en cantera (¡vaya concepto revolucionario!).
Mientras tanto, preparen los memes, porque esto solo va a empeorar. ¿Qué opinan ustedes? ¿De Rossi o Caos?

Wer braucht schon Taktikboards wenn man Nostalgie hat?
Die FIGC sucht einen neuen Nationaltrainer und schaut natürlich zuerst in die eigene Vergangenheit. Gattuso (1,48 Punkte pro Spiel) und De Rossi (13 Siege in 40 Spielen) - weil nichts so sehr nach modernem Fußball schreit wie die Weltmeister von 2006!
Der Pioli-Paradox
Sein Milan zeigte geniale Momente… gefolgt von defensiven Blackouts, die meine Datenmodelle traumatisiert haben. Vielleicht ist Florenz mit Nachwuchsförderung die bessere Wahl als diese vergreiste “goldene Generation”.
Ehrliche Alternativen? Warten bis Conte frei wird oder - ganz verrückt - mal in Jugendarbeit investieren! Aber wer will das schon, wenn wir stattdessen über Cannavaro spekulieren können…
Was denkt ihr? Sollte Italien lieber einen Algorithmus zum Trainer machen?
- Loris Karius to Extend Stay at Schalke 04 as First-Choice Goalkeeper – A Calculated Gamble or Desperate Measure?Schalke 04's decision to extend Loris Karius' contract and install him as their first-choice goalkeeper raises eyebrows. The former Liverpool man, once infamous for his Champions League blunder, now faces the unenviable task of steadying a ship that leaked 62 goals last season. With financial constraints forcing them to retain backup Marius Schubert, we analyse whether this is a tactical masterstroke or a budgetary compromise in disguise.
- Loris Karius Extends Stay at Schalke 04 Until 2027: Can the Redemption Arc Continue?Schalke 04 has officially announced the contract extension of goalkeeper Loris Karius until 2027, with the German shot-stopper set to wear the coveted No.1 shirt in the upcoming Bundesliga 2 season. After joining the Royal Blues last winter, Karius made four appearances before a March injury cut his campaign short. Club officials praise his professionalism during recovery, while the player vows to "win back trust" through performances. We analyze whether this marks a true career revival for the former Liverpool man best known for his 2018 Champions League final mishap.
