Rino Gattuso is the new coach of Fiorentina. The former midfielder, after having closed his tour at Naples on Sunday night losing the Champions League qualification on the last day, will take over the viola project, which had been negotiating with him for months. La Viola accelerated in the last hours, setting aside other possibilities (among them, that of Paulo Fonseca) and announced his new coach this afternoon.
Gattuso also rang for Juventus, which has not yet decided what to do with Pirlo, and for Lazio, which has not yet officially separated from Simone Inzaghi. That of 'Ringhio' was the first name on the list of President Commisso, who was looking for a profile of experience and charisma to relaunch his project. It is the seventh experience on the bench for the Italian, who has already guided Sion, Palermo, OFI Crete, Pisa, Milan and, until last week, Naples, where he won an Italian Cup.
