Gattuso had earlier announced he would be leaving the role, which he took in November 2017 after a spell as a youth coach, despite his contract running until 2021.He also confirmed he would not be taking any compensation.Deciding to leave Milans bench is not easy but its a decision I had to make, he said, according to Repubblica.There was not a precise moment in which I decided, it was the sum of these 18 months as coach of a team that for me will never be like the others. Months that I lived with great passion, unforgettable months. Mine is a painful but thoughtful choice. Am I giving up a two-year contract? Yes, because my story with Milan can never be a question of money.The 41-year-old is a Milan club legend who made 468 total appearances between 1999 and 2012.He also won two Serie A titles and two Champions Leagues during that time.
