Expected to become the new coach of Olympique de Marseille, Gennaro Gattuso also risks only moving to Ciel et Blanc.
Marcelino has set the bar very high. Arriving at the start of summer, the Spanish technician left Olympique de Marseille before the start of autumn, after only seven matches on the Ciel et Blanc bench. Enough to maintain the incredible instability at the head of the Olympian club. Whether it is André Villas-Boas, Jorge Sampaoli or Igor Tudor, none of the latest coaches has actually stayed even two seasons at OM…
But given Gennaro Gattuso’s past, it is difficult to imagine the Italian technician signing up for the long term with Ciel et Blanc. In just ten years of career, the former midfielder already has eight different experiences on a bench, from Sion, where he took his first steps as a coach before leaving after just over two months, to Valencia, where he was dismissed after only six months.
He also never stayed more than two years at the head of a club. His two experiences at Milan and Naples, where he played firefighter on duty after the dismissals of Vincenzo Montella and Carlo Ancelotti, ended each time after eighteen months. Following his departure from Napoli, the 2006 world champion did even better at the head of Fiorentina, where he did not manage a single match. Appointed on May 25, he left the club even before training resumed following a deep disagreement over the transfer window.
