Valencia coach Rino Gattuso has rejected claims he will resign after their Copa del Rey defeat to Athletic Bilbao.

Gattuso insists he won't walk away.

He said, "It's very simple. In this difficult time, leaving is not part of my style. I have to talk to my team because I trust them a lot, I have to listen carefully to what they think.

"It would be easy to say that if no signings arrive I'll leave, but I have a lot of respect for the team I'm coaching.

"The goal is to score 40 points. That is our reality. We are in a not good situation and I have to think about how to improve the situation for the team."
