Gennaro Gattuso convinced Aurelio De Laurentiis, ready to renew the contract of the Calabrian technician. After the statements by the sports director Cristiano Giuntoli in recent days, the Corriere dello Sport reported the rumors of an agreement now reached between Ringhio and the blue club.
Gattuso’s agents have given the green light to the latest offer, which would extend the contract expiring in 2021 until June 2023: Sunday evening would be scheduled a dinner to seal it all. De Laurentiis believes Gattuso functional to the objectives of the club, which needs a young and ambitious coach after the Sarri era and the negative parenthesis of Ancelotti, and wants to give continuity to the project.
The Napoli president has decided to speed up times also because he fears others important clubs can court the manager Calabrian: official status is now one step away.
Meanwhile, Gattuso himself has been the victim of a severe flu attack, complete with a sore throat and fever that debilitated him and forced him to skip a training session in Castel Volturno. The swab is in any case result negative. The thought is turned to the match against Benevento: the Azzurri are called to redeem after the unexpected knockout in the Europa League against AZ. “We have complicated the journey and now we can no longer make mistakes. We got too many compliments after the last match against Atalanta, ”Gattuso said after the match.
