Napoli coach Gennaro Gattuso said he doesn’t know if the Juventus match will be his last chance to save the job. ‘You have to ask the club’.

After the Coppa Italia exit against Atalanta on Wednesday, the coach admitted his men struggled in the first half but was happy with the passion of the Azzurri players in the second.

It ended with a 3-1 defeat at the Gewiss Stadium and the next match is against Juventus in Serie A.

Reports in Italy claim it could be a decisive appointment for the former Milan coach, but Gattuso stressed he doesn’t think of the Cup game as ‘the penultimate’ in charge of the Partenopei.

“I don’t know, you have to ask the club,” he said. “The captain of the ship is me, when things go badly, they are at the expense of the captain.

“I can’t think of this as the penultimate or last resort, I have to work and I have to be able to trust.

“I’m a coach, it’s like that. I won’t be the first, nor the last, but I have the duty to try until the end.”
