OM coach Gennaro Gattuso was the victim of extortion by the Italian mafia.
Gennaro Gattuso currently has sporting problems to resolve with his club OM, but he also has concerns off the field. And relatively significant concerns. According to the Italian press, he is the victim of extortion.
According to Fatto Quotidiano, it was the Ndrangheta who attacked Gattuso and his relatives by threatening them. The transalpine coach had no choice but to pay his attackers. He sent them part of the money they demanded from him.

The source does not specify when these facts took place. But, it is obvious that this is having an impact on his morale at the moment. As his team prepares to play a crucial match against Lyon in the league, he clearly did not need this kind of distraction.
For information, Gattuso is a native of the Calabria region. He also had a spell as a coach at Naples. This could explain his links to criminals in southern Italy.
