Gennaro Gattuso seems a little calmer lately, even tired. The Napoli coach, who has had a difficult week for his team, with two defeats against Inter and Lazio, is also going through a difficult period on a personal level. He has been wearing an eye patch for several days, which has not escaped the notice of anyone. Except that it actually hides a disease that the Italian has had since he was a player.

His coaching position would not be a very good factor in healing himself, since he mainly needs rest. However, Gennaro Gattuso will be able to remove his eye patch in a few days, if all goes well.
