Italy World Cup winner Gennaro Gattuso quits as OFI Crete manager

By , Reporter
Italian World Cup winner Gennaro Gattuso resigns from his post as manager of Greek club OFI Crete after seven matches, following a 3-2 defeat to Asteras Tripolis.

Italian World Cup winner Gennaro Gattuso has resigned from his post as manager of Greek club OFI Crete after seven matches.

The 36-year-old former Azzurri midfielder took over at the Greek Super League outfit in June, but has stepped down following a 3-2 home defeat by Asteras Tripolis.

Gattuso told a news conference: "I have put all my passion and all my strength into this team but I can't be the one solving all the club's problems every day, I'm not the president and my job should only be football.

"I feel very upset but I cannot continue. The players don't believe in me."

Gattuso made headlines when his expletive-laden OFI Crete press conference in September went viral.
