Valencia sack Gennaro Gattuso as manager after seven months in charge

Spanish club, Valencia have sacked coach Gennaro Gattuso on Monday January 30, following the team's poor results.

 Valencia have only won one of their last 10 games in La Liga and were knocked out of the Spanish Cup last week. 

 Gattuso, whose 22 games included seven wins, five draws and 10 defeats, met with club president Layhoon Chan on Monday afternoon following Valencia's 1-0 defeat against Valladolid on Sunday.

 Technical director Miguel Angel Corona was also present Gattuso is understood to have repeated appeals for Valencia to recruit before the transfer window shuts this week.
