With the arrival of the Italian Gennaro Gattuso at Valencia CF, the historic La Liga Santander team was expected to recover the levels to which it had become accustomed at the beginning of the century, when it was a constant in European positions.
However, far from bringing the club closer to the Europa League, Gattuso did not have the expected success and ended up agreeing to leave the club.
The low level of play shown was one of the main causes of his dismissal, but all this is reflected in some numbers that leave much to be desired.
Gattuso’s numbers in La Liga Santander
In the 18 games played, Valencia CF has achieved only five wins, five draws and eight losses. He conceded 21 goals and scored 25, leaving an average of four.
In the Copa del Rey, Gattuso managed to get the Blanquineros into the quarterfinals, but ended up losing to Athletic Club Bilbao with a 3-1 result.
The Italian arrived at Valencia in June 2022, having had great experience in clubs in his country. AC Milan, Napoli and Fiorentina are some of the clubs that were under his command.
