Gennaro Gattuso has been fired as Valencia manager after just seven months in charge.
The Spanish club is currently 14th in LaLiga, and have won two of their last seven games — both of which came in the Copa del Rey.
The Spanish side haven’t won a league game since November 10, and sit only one point above the relegation zone. It leaves budding USMNT star Yunus Musah without a coach. The central midfielder has been one of few standouts for a struggling side this year.
The pressure has been on Gattuso for a while, and he was pictured arguing with the press after Valencia’s La Liga defeat to Real Valladolid on Sunday night.
Gattuso has endured a turbulent managerial career, and has now been sacked by AC Milan, Napoli and Valencia — while also leaving Fiorentina just three weeks after agreeing on a deal.
Valencia thanked Gattuso for his work over his seven-month tenure at the club in a statement: “The Club wants to thank the coach for his commitment and work in these months in charge of the first team and wish him the best of luck in his future. The team will return to training this Tuesday, January 31, under the orders of ‘Voro’ Gonzalez.”
