It is reported that Gattuso is the leading candidate to take over from Ancelotti at Napoli.
Gazzetta dello Sport (via the Daily Mail) report that Ancelotti will be sacked by chairman Aurelio De Laurentiis after Tuesday’s Champions League fixture.
Napoli have the opportunity to progress to the final 16 of the European competition with a win over Genk.
