""I'll take credit if I manage to achieve the goal, otherwise I'll go and live far away from Italy," Gattuso said. "I'm already a bit far away [with his residence in Marbella, Spain], I'll go even farther. The consequence is that, I'm aware of it.""
""I've said it before, it is a dream to be here and it's true," he said. "There were people with more experience than me, with more experience, and that's why I took this call with great responsibility.""
""I have to thank the Federation, it's president [Gabriele Gravina], and [head of Italy's delegation Gianluigi] Buffon. I didn't think I'd lead the team to 16 goals, but the credit goes to the players. I have little credit. "We need to continue on this path. Yes, we work so hard and we sleep so little, but we do this, too, because when the victories come, it feels very good.""
Gennaro Gattuso said he would move away from Italy if the national team fails to qualify for the 2026 World Cup. He took charge in June and has led Italy to four consecutive wins, including a 3-0 victory over Israel that confirmed a UEFA play-off place. Italy have not appeared at a World Cup since 2014 and sit three points behind Group I leaders Norway. Italy face Moldova away on November 13 and Norway at home three days later. Gattuso thanked the Federation and Gianluigi Buffon, credited the players for 16 goals, and emphasized hard work and limited rest.
