Gennaro Gattuso, former coach of Naples e Fiorentina is returned to speak to the microphones of Repubblica.it after the brief but, apparently, intense experience with the lily company. Here is what is highlighted:
“I cannot speak on the subject of commissions, but I can remember my story. I have been training for eight years, my teams have never bought Mendes players and I have never imposed him. André Silva al Milan e Ghoulam al Naples they were already there. Mendes he is a friend, he gives me advice for my career as he has a lot of experience. The market is not up to me, but to the managers. I always respect roles. I am ambitious and I want strong and functional players for my team, regardless of their agent“.
On Commisso: “I cannot talk about this issue, also because he is a person I have never met live. I’m not obsessed with talking at all costs. I only have the habit of telling the truth. In fact, if something doesn’t stand up, it falls by itself“.
On Naples: “I am proud to have coached a great team in a great city. In a season with never-before-seen problems and injuries we lost the Champions League qualification by just one point, with often spectacular matches“.
On the revolt of Tottenham fans, who called him homophobic and racist: “I’m not racist. They called me southerner in all stadiums. And now I’m a victim of keyboard hatred“.
