I’ll kill myself if found guilty

Former Italy and AC Milan midfielder Gennaro Gattuso has rejected accusations of his alleged involvement in match-fixing and dramatically claimed he would kill himself if found guilty.

Gattuso, a 2006 World Cup winner who played for Rangers in the late 1990s, was yesterday named by Italian media in a probe being carried out by Cremona’s prosecuting office.

Ex-Lazio midfielder Cristian Brocchi is included in the investigation, according to reports.
