BERGAMO — Gennaro Gattuso praised his players' attacking mindset as he enjoyed his start to life as Italy coach on Sept 5, when the Azzurri beat Estonia 5-0 to get their World Cup qualifying campaign back on track.
Elsewhere, Kylian Mbappé struck as France also began their bid to win the 2026 tournament with a 2-0 victory over Ukraine.
A World Cup winner as a combative midfielder in 2006, Gattuso was brought in as coach in June to stop Italy's slide towards a third consecutive missed World Cup Finals.
His tenure started in style as second-half strikes by Moise Kean, Mateo Retegui — who netted twice — Giacomo Raspadori, and Alessandro Bastoni fired Italy to three points and had fans chanting the coach's name in Bergamo.
Italy are third in Group I after three matches, six points behind leaders Norway, who have played one game more and boast a superior goal difference.
