The 2006 world champion signed a contract until June 30, 2024, the club announced on Thursday. “I’m very proud and happy to have signed a contract with a club steeped in tradition,” said Gattuso.
Valencia’s former Vice-President Miguel Zorio launched a campaign against Gattuso’s engagement on social media under the hashtag #NoAGattuso after the first rumors about Gattuso’s commitment. On his platform “Marea Valencianista” Zorio published a list of Gattuso’s misconduct and started his campaign against “xenophobia, homophobia and Gattuso’s macho behavior”.
A campaign using the hashtag #NoToGattuso was launched last year when Gattuso was associated with Tottenham Hotspur. The 44-year-old is now given a chance in Valencia. There he succeeds José Bordalas, who finished the season in ninth place and was subsequently sacked.
