Reports are continuing to gather steam that Gennaro Gattuso will leave Napoli at the end of the season to take over at Fiorentina.

President Rocco Commisso and Gattuso both hail from the Calabria region of Italy, and Commisso has said before that he wanted to hire Rino for his team.

The situation at Napoli seems to be beyond repair, as months of negotiations for a contract extension were suddenly shelved.

Napoli forward Matteo Politano seems set to play against his former club Inter on Sunday, as Gennaro Gattuso must cope without Hirving Lozano.

The Partenopei have scheduled to resume training tomorrow, after two and a half days of rest, but Tuttosport highlights the Mexican attacker is suspended for the game against the Nerazzurri.

Coach Gattuso is expected to start Politano on the flank and the former Inter man will be eager to prove Antonio Conte wrong this weekend.

Sampdoria veteran Fabio Quagliarella asked an animated Napoli coach Gennaro Gattuso if he was ‘doing the commentary’ during yesterday’s match.

The Partenopei coach was screaming from the dugout and the former Italy international Quagliarella reacted to the constant comments from the former midfielder.

Quagliarella turned around and asked: “Coach, are you doing the commentary?”

The vibrant coach then replied: “Just focus on playing, Quaglia, stop busting my b****. What the f*** do you want?!”

Juventus and Napoli both aimed to challenge for the Scudetto when the first leg was postponed in October last year, now they play for the Champions League.

In recent years Napoli were the big challengers for Juventus but fell out of the top four during a turbulent 2019-20 season and aimed for a swift return to the Scudetto battle under Gennaro Gattuso this term.

Fabio Cannavaro claims Juventus would ‘be wrong twice’ if they sack Andrea Pirlo and highlights Gennaro Gattuso silenced the critics at Napoli.

The current Guangzhou FC coach and former teammate of Pirlo and Gattuso spoke to La Gazzetta dello Sport about the big game between his two former clubs.

Reports in Italy claim the Bianconeri coach Pirlo risks losing his job with a poor result against the Partenopei tomorrow, but the 47-year-old World Cup winner said the ‘blame can’t only be his’.

A new name is on the radar for Napoli, specifically Empoli coach Alessio Dionisi, while Gennaro Gattuso is linked with Fiorentina.

It seems all but certain that Gattuso will leave the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona at the end of the season, as his rapport with President Aurelio De Laurentiis remains fractious.

Aurelio De Laurentiis will try to sway Gennaro Gattuso to stay if Napoli qualify for the Champions League but has reportedly started studying the options.

The Partenopei patron and the Calabrian coach seem set to split at the end of 2020-21, but Gattuso will receive an offer to renew with the Azzurri should he lead them to the Champions League.

The upcoming transfer market depends on the qualification for Europe and even the decision on the coach will have to wait.

Tiemoue Bakayoko’s agent insists he is open to remaining at Napoli after his loan from Chelsea, but his future ‘is not tied’ to Gennaro Gattuso.

There are multiple reports Gattuso will part company with the club at the end of the season, regardless of whether they clinch a top four finish.

Gattuso already worked with Bakayoko at Milan on another loan from Chelsea.

“His future is not tied to that of the coach,” agent and brother Abdoulaye Bakayoko told Radio Marte.

Gennaro Gattuso seems set to leave Napoli this summer and La Repubblica claims Wolverhampton Wanderers have targeted the former Milan coach.

The relationship between Napoli patron Aurelio De Laurentiis and coach Gennaro Gattuso has led to rumours of the two parting ways this summer.

Napoli have not been talking to the press in recent weeks but reports in Italy suggest the former Rossoneri coach has decided to leave after one full season in charge.
