Gattuso gets the boot at Valencia
It has been a difficult season for Valencia. In the last couple of years, the club has been looking to regain lost glory but has remained in the shadows of challengers like Atletico Madrid, Sevilla and Real Sociedad. The appointment of former Napoli manager Gennaro Gattuso has not yielded the desired results.
Despite the experience of the legendary midfielder, the club has continued on a spiral trend. Gattuso has struggled to arrest the descent of Valencia, as he has not been able to find answers to the problems bedevilling the club. Valencia have struggled to record wins this season and sits dangerously above the relegation zone.
What led to the sacking of Gattuso
With La Liga past the halfway mark, Valencia sit in 14th place on the log and have managed just two wins from their last seven games. Both victories came in the Copa del Rey. Valencia last won a game in La Liga on November 10 when they beat Real Betis 3-0. They are currently one point above the relegation zone.
