Gattuso and Gila share personal stories at Trento Sports Festival
At the Trento Sports Festival, Lazio manager Gennaro Gattuso shared personal insights regarding his career and health. He revealed that he has lived with ocular myasthenia gravis, an autoimmune disease, for 15 years. This condition, which requires daily cortisone use to prevent double vision, was a primary factor in his decision to retire from professional football at age 34. Gattuso also reflected on emotional career milestones, including the pain of Italy’s loss to Bosnia and Herzegovina and his time at AC Milan, where he praised teammates like Paolo Maldini.
Additionally, AC Milan defender Mario Gila discussed his summer transfer from Lazio to Milan. Gila confirmed that despite interest from major Italian clubs including Inter Milan, Napoli, and Atalanta, he chose Milan due to the club’s prestigious history and the opportunity to help rebuild the team. He expressed satisfaction with Milan’s recent recruitment strategy and his role within Ruben Amorim’s squad.
