Gattuso Returns to Serie A to Take Over Lazio After Unsuccessful Italy Spell

Italian football coach Gennaro Gattuso is back in Serie A after taking the helm at Lazio. The 48-year-old replaces Maurizio Sarri, who recently departed the Rome club to join Atalanta from Bergamo.

Gattuso's most recent role was with the Italian national team, but his tenure ended following a disappointing qualifying campaign where the football powerhouse failed to secure a spot in the World Cup. Prior to that, he coached several Serie A clubs, including Milan, Napoli, and Fiorentina. He also spent a season in France with Marseille and previously worked in Spain with Valencia.

Lazio officially announced Gattuso's appointment on social media, posting a message that read: "Benvenuto, Mister" along with the club's emblem.
