Torino market: contacts with Gattuso infuriate fans. But there are those who agree

Surprising rumors of a possible arrival of Gennaro Gattuso on the Torino bench are dividing fans. The Granata club before outlining its market strategies must decide on next season’s coach, and the choice may not fall on Roberto D’Aversa.

The Abruzzo coach has done very well since his arrival under the Mole in place of the exonerated Marco Baroni, leading Toro to a series of very positive results, most recently the excellent comeback draw against top-seeded Inter. At the end of the season there could be D’Aversa’s meeting with the club’s top management, Cairo and Petrachi, to discuss a possible renewal, but in the meantime the rumors do not stop.

According to Tuttosport reports, after Ivan Juric the name of Gennaro Gattuso, former technical commissioner of the Italian national team, who resigned after the Zenica debacle against Bosnia, is making headway at Toro. President Urbano Cairo would put him on the list in case of separation from D’Aversa, so much so that the first contacts would have already taken place.

On social media, the granata fans are divided. Most are against it: “Gattuso may be nice … but he is not capable!”, “Most exonerated coach in the game of soccer”, “They do it on purpose, it is not possible”, “There is no limit … I thought I had reached the bottom and instead …”.

But there are those who are in favor of his possible arrival and see him as a coach for Toro: “Gattuso with his grit and grit I wouldn’t see him bad on the bench,” “I would take him, better than Baroni, Juric, on d’Aversa he did well but I don’t know from the start how he would do,” “Personally I would approve, I think he has the right character for the four we have left.”
