Gattuso initially left Gor Mahia in 2012. He subsequently played for Tusker and Sofapaka before rejoining Gor Mahia in June 2014 on a one year contract.<\/p>\n<p>Ronald Ngala confirmed that Gattuso has indeed signed a new contract that will keep him at the club until 2016.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Gattuso\u2019 is a good player, who has played a vital part in the team and it is important to retain him. \u201cYes we have added him two years, we shall reveal the terms in due course.&#8221; said Ngala to goal.com<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe has been a good player for us, very phenomenal and you cannot allow a player like him to leave. We are looking forward to working with him in future. Since his return from Tusker, \u2018Gattuso\u2019 has stabilized our midfield, his experience is needed and I am sure he will remain our anchorman for a long time.<\/p>\n<p>Ronald Ngala praised Gattuso&#8217;s work ethic.<br \/>\n\u201cHis hard work when playing for us is visible to all, his commitment to the team is unquestioned; he is one special player, who can die for the team. So the best thing is to make sure he is here with us, he has not given us any problems.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Indeed Gattuso&#8217;s character has improved dramatically since his first stint at Gor mahia three years ago. That period was characterized by numerous temper tantrums and run ins with coach Otieno &#8220;Zico&#8221;. He left the club several times and at one point said he was quitting football to focus on education. Prior to rejoining Gor Mahia, he indicated that he had undergone therapy.<\/p>\n<p>He is still the relentless, tireless hardworking defensive midfielder he was in 2012 but now without the drama, his contribution to the club&#8217;s success is much higher.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/news\/three-cheers-to-okoth-gattuso-for-improved-character\/\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground:  !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 100% !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Collins Okoth &#8220;Gattuso&#8221; has extended his stay at Gor Mahia for another two years.
