Club owner Aurelio De Laurentiis announced the confirmation of Gattuso’s separation from Napoli on Monday (24/5).

Napoli failed to secure a Champions League ticket in the last week of the season. They could only draw 1-1 at home against mid-table Hellas Verona.

“To Rino (Gattuso), I am delighted to have spent almost two seasons with you. Thank you for your work and I wish you success wherever you go. A hug is also for your wife and children,” wrote De Laurentiis via his Twitter account.

Napoli’s official Twitter account also confirmed Gattuso’s departure. The announcement also confirmed the long-circulating speculation that Gattuso will leave Napoli when his contract ends in June.

Gattuso joined Napoli in December 2019. He came to replace Carlo Ancelotti. At Napoli, Gattuso won the 2020 Coppa Italia trophy.
