Napoli have announced that Gennaro Gattuso is their new coach after firing Carlo Ancelotti last night.
The former Milan tactician will hold his first training session this afternoon, making his debut in Saturday’s head-to-head for seventh place in Serie A with Parma.
Gattuso landed at the Capodichino airport this afternoon, just as Ancelotti had finished emptying out his office at the Castel Volturno training ground.
It had already been reported a week ago that the decision to fire Ancelotti and bring in Gattuso had already been made, it was just a matter of waiting for the final Champions League group game.
This is Gattuso’s first role since he left Milan by mutual consent in May, having missed out on Champions League qualification by one point.
He had taken over from Vincenzo Montella in November 2017, initially as a caretaker and then given the job full-time.
His other management positions were short-lived at FC Sion, Palermo, OFI Crete, Pisa and the Milan youth team.
Benvenuto Rino!

Gattuso should avoid winning games by 4-0 or more to keep his napoli job safe😊

Serie A are very related and organise. take a look at the way they swap managers round all the club so that each of them have a taste of the national cake.

He is welcome, but Napoli will b playing Europa most of the seasons with this new couch, he is younger than the one he has succeeded in terms of football mind, tactics n philosophy
