Just before he was announced as the new Fiorentina coach, Gennaro Gattuso wrote an open letter saluting Napoli fans. ‘I will never forget these emotional months.’
His exit had already been decided by mutual consent long before missing out on a top four finish and today he signed for the Viola.
“Coaching Napoli was wonderful: an intense and precious year-and-a-half that I will long keep in my heart,” wrote Gattuso on the official Napoli website.
“I thank the players, the club staff, all the employees and President Aurelio De Laurentiis who gave me this opportunity.
“I got to know a magnificent city, where I was very happy with my family, and extraordinary fans despite the fact the pandemic kept them away from the unique atmosphere of the stadium named after Diego Maradona.
“But in the days of winning the Coppa Italia and other moments, I felt the unique affection of the Neapolitan fans towards their team. An affection that, along with my staff, I pushed to give in return, working every day with the utmost dedication and professionalism.
“Now our paths are separating, but I will never forget these emotional months. I wish Napoli and Naples much more success.
“Rino Gattuso.”

He is great but more aggressive. But I love him so much. But he is a true man he will fight for his team. Wrong decision by Napoli?
