Ex-Rangers man in 'pole position' to land surprise new job
Gattuso departed his role as boss of Croatian top-flight outfit Hajduk Split just five days ago. Read more: He now looks set to seal a quick-fire return to football. Indeed, Italy recently parted ways with Luciano Spalletti, despite a 2-0 win over Moldova on Monday. Gattuso is in 'pole position' to replace the 66-year-old in the national team dugout, claims Gattuso has previously taken charge of a host of clubs including Sion, Palermo, Crete, Pisa, AC Milan, Napoli, Valencia and Marseille. He spent just over a year at Rangers as a teenager, making 45 appearances across which he scored five goals. Gattuso won a World Cup with Italy as a player, and he now looks likely to take charge of his country in a rather surprising switch. Elsewhere, former Rangers chief Ross Wilson is reportedly among the candidates under consideration for a vacancy at Newcastle United. The Daily Mail claims the Nottingham Forest sporting director is in the frame for the same position at St James' Park. Wilson, 41, has been in post at Forest since 2023 after he departed Ibrox. He held a similar position previously at Southampton.

Gattuso joined Hajduk Split ahead of last season and led the team to a third-placed finish in the country's top flight. Their European campaign, however, ended early when they were knocked out of the Conference League in the third qualifying round after an aggregate loss against Slovakian team Ruzomberok. The 47-year-old Italian previously coached AC Milan, Napoli, Valencia and Olympique de Marseille before moving to the Adriatic city of Split. "Once again we thank you for everything and wish you all the best in the rest of your life and coaching career," the Croatian club said in a statement.

Rangers cult hero Gennaro Gattuso gets heartfelt send off as he leaves club despite title collapse
FORMER Rangers star Gennaro Gattuso has left Croatian side Hadjuk Split by mutual consent after their title charge fizzled out. The 47-year-old leaves his post after less than a year in the job. 3 Gennaro Gattuso leaves Hajduk Split Credit: AFP 3 Gattuso played for Rangers in 1997-98 Credit: Alamy 3 Gattuso was the coach for Valencia Credit: AFP The club confirmed they had parted ways with the former AC Milan, Napoli, Valencia and Marseille coach and his backroom staff on its official website on Thursday. A brief statement said: " We thank you once again for everything and wish you the best in the rest of your life and coaching career." Gattuso led Split to third in the SuperSport HNL division, finishing two points behind champions Rijeka and second placed Dinamo Zagreb. They looked on course to win their first title in 20 years starting their first 11 games unbeaten, but a poor run of form saw them relinquish their grip on the title. Gattuso took charge of 43 games, winning 20 of them and losing nine. Reports suggest he could now return to his native Italy, with Fiorentina and newly promoted Pisa looking for a new head coach. The Italian is known for his fiery temperament on the park as well as off it. He never shirked a challenge whether that on was the pitch or in the studio as an incredible bust-up in March illustrated. Gattuso was scheduled to do a live interview with Croatian sports channel MAXSport1. But things quickly unravelled. Shock moment ex-Rangers star Rino Gattuso tells his own player to F... OFF during fiery press conference Gattuso refused to shake the hand of Josko Jelicic, a former Hajduk Split star who also played for Sevilla and Dinamo Zagreb and earned a cap for his country whilst playing for Hajduk. The AC Milan legend told Jelicic "I won't give an answer to you, you speak too much" and made a mouthing gesture with his hand. Gattuso was speaking in English but Jelicic responded in Spanish, saying "You played very bad!" The pair were shouting over each other before the presenter had to step in to defuse the situation.
