Napoli sack Victor Osimhen's coach Gattuso

• Gennaro Gattuso signed Victor Osimhen from Lille

• He failed to qualify Napoli for the Champions League next season

• The announcement of his sack was announced on social media after Sunday’s home draw with Hellas Verona

Napoli has fired head coach, Gennaro Gattuso after he narrowly missed out on Champions League football for next season.

The announcement was made by the Chairman of the club Aurelio De Laurentiis on social media. This comes after Sunday’s home draw with Hellas Verona.

De Laurentiis wrote: "Dear Rino, I am happy to have spent almost two seasons with you. Thanks for your work, I wish you success wherever you go. A hug to your wife and children too. Aurelio Di Laurentiis.”

Gattuso was on the bench for the last time when the Azzurri’s played out a frustrating 1-1 against Hellas Verona at the Diego Maradona Stadium on Sunday.

The result, however, wasn’t enough to guarantee them a champions league qualification for next season.
