Purple Lily's new manager – Genaro Ivan Gattuso

Gattuso just announced yesterday that he would leave Napoli and now he has immediately found a new job, and next season he will lead the Purple Lily to Serie A.

During his time at Napoli, Gattuso led the team to play 81 games, with a record of 47 wins, 12 draws and 22 losses, and the team eventually finished fifth and qualified for the Europa League.

According to previous sources, Gattuso will sign a 2+1 year contract with Fiorentina. Gennaro Ivan Gattuso (born 9 January 1978 in Italy) is an Italian footballer who plays as a defender and is currently the head coach of Fiorentina F.C.

Let's talk about the red and black feats of the city of Milan:

Born in the city of Calablo in Calabria, Italy, Gnaro Ivan Gattuso earned him the nickname "Dog of God" for his tireless running and ferocious tackles.

Born at Italian club Perugia, Genaro Ivan Gattuso was transferred to Scottish Powerhouse Wanderers in July 1997 at the age of 19, where he was one of the club's main choices. Later Rovers switched managers, and Gattuso returned to Italy in 1998 for £3 million to join Salenitana. Despite Gattuso's positive performances, Salenitana's overall performance has been poor, resulting in only fifteenth place in the league, a failed relegation relegation to The Second Division, and he lacks popularity in Italy.

In July 1999, at the age of 21, Gattuso moved to Serie A powerhouse AC Milan for £8 million in preparation for the team's Champions League appearance in the following season. However, before that, AC Milan had been in the middle and lower reaches of the position for two consecutive years, although they regained the league championship in the autumn of 1998/99, but in fact, they only suppressed the then powerful Lazio with a difference of one point, and the outside world was generally not optimistic about AC Milan. As a result, Gattuso's league defense with AC Milan failed and could only finish third in the league. In the next two sessions, AC Milan is in the adjustment period of the big change, can not play at the level of the league, and has not been able to achieve any championship for three consecutive years, while Gattuso, although there is no lack of opportunities to play, but the performance is not outstanding.

In the summer of 2002, AC Milan drastically reorganized the team's lineup, and the strength of the team gradually became strong, and Gattuso began to become the inevitable choice of AC Milan under the leadership of head coach Carlo Ancelotti. At the start of the season, AC Milan already had Portuguese international midfielder Rui Costa and new Brazilian international Rivaldo, Ancelotti tried to put another Italian midfielder, Piero, at the back, forming a midfield pair with Gattuso in the middle of the midfield. In May 2003, AC Milan defeated another Serie A club, Juventus, 3-2 in the penalty shootout stage in the final, winning the Champions League, of which Gattuso was really instrumental and was the team's unsung hero.

AC Milan won the League one in a landslide manner in the league the following season, although exiting the quarterfinals of the Champions League, with Gattuso forming an offensive and defensive midfield line with Pirlo, Brazilian player Kaka, Rui Costa and Dutch midfielder Seedorf, who sometimes serves as a right midfielder to assist the team in attacking and defending on the sidelines.

In the summer of 2006, the Serie A match-fixing scandal broke out, AC Milan was sent to the league to deduct 8 points, there have been rumors that AC Milan will or will leave the team to shoot, among which many times expressed interest in Gattuso, the Premier League club Manchester United hopes to take the opportunity to take advantage of him, as the former captain Keane's role in the midfield, but Gattuso has repeatedly denied, and said that he will concentrate on playing for AC Milan. As a result, although AC Milan could only finish 4th in the league under the influence of being deducted points, Gattuso and other teammates performed much better in the second half of the season, passed the Champions League Cup, and finally regained the Champions League title in the face of unanimous external disdain.

In December 2009, Gattuso renewed his contract with AC Milan, and the new contract expired on June 30, 2012, and Gattuso had the option to renew his contract for another year.

At 14:30 on 15 June 2012, the Swiss Super League Zion Club held a press conference and officially announced Gattuso's joining. Gattuso, 34, signed a two-year contract with the team.

On the evening of 25 February 2013, Swiss Premier League club Sion announced on its official website that former Milan midfielder Gattuso had officially become the team's acting manager and also a player, and former manager Munoz was dismissed. It was also Gattuso's first time at the helm.

On March 12, 2013, Gattuso announced that he would officially retire and start coaching in June of the same year.

Gattuso took charge of the Greek team OFI Crete in July 2014 and has a decent record in the league, although Gattuso himself has a conflict with the team's management.

On 20 August 2015, Italian Serie C side Pisa announced the appointment of former Milan midfielder Gattuso as the team's new manager.

He began coaching AC Milan on 27 November 2017. In the 2018-2019 season, Gattuso led AC Milan to a fifth-place finish in Serie A, missing the Champions League with only one point difference. After the end of the season, Gattuso left Milan. During his time at Milan, Gattuso led the team in 82 games, with a record of 40 wins, 22 draws and 20 losses, averaging 1.73 points per game.

On May 28, 2019, AC Milan officially announced that Gattuso would no longer be the team's manager.

On 11 December 2019, Napoli announced Gattuso as manager.

In the final round of the 2020-21 Serie A season, Napoli led by Gattuso was forced to draw 1-1 at home by Verona, falling to fifth in the Serie A table and failing to qualify for next season's Champions League. After the match, Napoli president De Laurentis announced Gattuso's dismissal.

On 25 May 2021, after stepping down as Manager of Napoli, Gattuso took over the "Purple Lily" Fiorentina.

As early as 2000, Gnaro Ivan Gattuso was selected for the Italian national team, and his debut for the national team was a away match against England. He scored his only goal of the game, losing 1-0 to England, which was also Gattuso's only international goal. Since then, Gattuso has begun to emerge and slowly became a regular for the national team, and was later selected for the 2002 World Cup. But it wasn't until the 2004 European Football Championship, with the voice of Italy's large number of fans, that head coach Chapadoni should move the midfield combination of Gattuso and Pirlo from AC Milan to the national team, and he became the main choice for the national team.

Gattuso also played for Italy in the 2006 World Cup, during which time he was a regular player, playing in all competitions, and as a result, they reached the semi-finals, first winning Germany in the semi-finals and then beating France to win the World Cup in the final.

Since the 2000 Sydney Olympics, Gattuso has played for Italy in six World Series, including one Olympic Games, two European Championships, three World Cups and one Confederations Cup. He made more than 70 appearances for the team.

On 15 November 2000, Gattuso scored from a distance in a friendly match between Italy and England to help the team win 1–0. It was also the only goal he has scored so far in the national team.

Gattuso was the main player of Italy's 2006 World Cup, and in the quarter-finals, Italy beat Ukraine 3-0, and Gattuso pressed forward Tony, who scored two goals, and was named the best player of the game. Gattuso was also named one of the top ten athletes in the tournament after that tournament.

At euro 2008, Gattusso was suspended for yellow card and missed the quarter-final with his old partner Pirlo, who eventually lost to their opponents in a penalty shootout and missed the final four, and manager Donadoni found it very difficult to find a pair to replace the Milan duo.

Although the appearance is strong and frightening, in fact, Gattuso is a good man, although he is brave on the field, but the action is always clean and clean; off the field he is a humble gentleman, gossip and he never have anything to do with him, because of his poor background, Gattuso also did his best to help those in difficulty, he even set up a "come on, boys" charity foundation for this.
