The manager's two-year reign at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona came to an end following the Parthenopeans’ 1-1 draw against Hellas Verona
Napoli centre-back Kalidou Koulibaly promised to always have ‘esteem and gratitude’ for Gennaro Gattuso following his departure.
The club’s owner Aurelio De Laurentiis announced the Italian’s departure after the Parthenopeans missed out on Champions League qualification.
Gattuso's men went into their final game of the season against Hellas Verona knowing that a victory would secure their place in Serie A's top four, albeit, they fumbled in front of their fans at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.
