The former Milan, Napoli, and Valencia coach has reached an agreement with the club, and the final details of his contract are currently being finalized, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport.
Gattuso’s most recent managerial stint was with Olympique Marseille, where he managed 24 games between September 2023 and February 2024, securing nine wins, eight draws, and seven defeats.
