Career

Playing career

Gattuso's playing career has been mostly associated with hometown club Como, with whom he played up to Serie B level. He also played at Serie B level for Salernitana.

Coaching career

Following his retirement as an active player, Gattuso stayed at amateur side Canzese, his final club as a footballer, as their head coach.

He successively joined Novara's coaching staff, and also serving short stints as head coach between 2004 and 2005. He then joined then-Serie D club as their new head coach for the 2005–2006 season before returning to Novara as a youth coach.

In 2012 he was named co-head coach (together with Carlo Perrone) of Novara[1] before being moved back in charge of the Under-19 team weeks later due to poor results. He also served once again as Novara head coach in 2014 on the relegation playoff second leg against Varese.

In June 2020 he returned to Como as an assistant coach, being promoted as head coach in December 2020 following the dismissal of Marco Banchini. Under his tenure, Como's results improved considerably, with the club ending the season as Serie C Group A winners, thus achieving promotion to Serie B.[2]
