Gattuso spoke to Valencia fans after another defeat
Gennaro Gattuso was caught lashing out at a cameraman while talking to Valencia supporters.
Gattuso was speaking to fans hours after they had suffered defeat to Real Valladolid to ramp up the pressure on the Italian.
Footage from Valencian outlet, A Punt, shows Gattuso speaking to a fan, where he is heard saying: “Right now it’s not a problem for the boys.”
The bright light from the camera appears to annoy the 45-year-old, who promptly responded by forcefully pushing the camera out of his face.
He then appears to gesticulate angrily towards the cameraman as Valencia supporters tried to calm him down from behind the barrier.

Another angle shows Gattuso pushing away the cameraman and shouting at him for invading his personal space.
Although he lost his cool, the former AC Milan then hugged a number of Valencia supporters who had turned out.
A Punt have since revealed to MARCA that Valencia and Gattuso himself have apologised for the reaction.
It said: “Valencia and their coach, Gennaro Gattuso, have apologized to Àpunt for yesterday’s incident in which the Italian tried to prevent our cameras from recording the arrival of the team at the Manises airport. We appreciate and accept the apology.”
Valencia are without a win since November 10 and are 14th in LaLiga – just a point above the relegation zone. They have only won two of their last seven games.
