Just last night, minutes after Napoli failed to qualify for next year’s Champions League with a 1-1 draw at home against Hellas Verona, Napoli President Aurelio De Laurentiis officially parted ways with Gattuso with a tweet from his personal account.
The portoguese coach started his coaching career in 2010. Despite not coaching in Italy, he’s already familiar with Serie A having played for Lazio, Parma and Inter during his playing career.
The name comes as a surprise. Many names were linked to Napoli, but Conceição wasn’t one of them.
