It must be believed that Gennaro Gattuso’s shortened experience in Marseille did not alter his rating on the other side of the Pyrenees. Former coach of AC Milan and Napoli, the 2006 world champion has managed to improve his image in Italy, where he maintains the reputation of a strong technician capable of turning around a team. The latest information from Italy is here to confirm it. As journalist Gianluca Di Marzio indicated, Gennaro Gattuso was in Sassuolo’s sights. The Serie A team had checked the Italian’s name for the rest of this 2023-24 financial year.

Gattuso snubs an Italian club!

Against all expectations, Gennaro Gattuso would have declined this proposal from Sassuolo. A little over a week after being dismissed from his position at Olympique de Marseille, Gattuso would like to recharge his batteries to resume a project during the next offseason.

The irony of the story is that Gattuso was not the only target of Sassuolo among the fallen technicians in Ligue 1. Fabio Grosso was also on the shelves of the Italian team, which is in 17th place of Serie A and wants to find a successor to Alession Dionisi.
