Gennaro Gattuso won’t be Napoli’s manager next season and Wolverhampton Wanderers are looking at the World Cup winner as a potential Nuno Espirito Santo replacement, according to Calciomercato.
The former Italy international may have ended Napoli’s six-year trophy drought in June, defeating Juventus in the Coppa Italia final, but there’s no place in football for sentimentality.
Napoli are currently sixth in Serie A.
And, while Champions League qualification is still a possibility, Gattuso looks set to pay the price for an underwhelming season at the Stadio San Paolo – his first full campaign since replacing Carlo Ancelotti in late 2019.
Reports claim the 43-year-old won’t be Napoli manager when 2021/22 kicks off.
However Gattuso, who put AC Milan back on the right track during his time at the San Siro before taking over in Naples, won’t be short of offers if Aurelio de Laurentiis dispenses with his services.
CM claims Fiorentina plan to hold talks with Gattuso this week.
Sampdoria are also interested, as are a Wolves side that, after three years of consistent improvements, have endured a substantial drop-off in 2020/21.
Tuttomercatoweb broke the news last week claiming Nuno’s time may be coming to an end at Wolves amid fears an exciting, ambitious project is going stale.
