AC Milan have officially sacked Coach Vincenzo Montella and replaced him with Gennaro Gattuso.
Montella’s position had come under increasing threat after a goalless draw with Torino on Sunday, and he has now been relieved of his duties by Milan.
“Milan announce the dismissal of Vincenzo Montella as Coach of the first team,” read a message on the Rossoneri’s official Twitter account.
#ACMilan announce to have parted ways with @VMontella. Management of the first team is entrusted to Gennaro Gattuso, who leaves his position as Primavera coach and to whom we wish the best of luck

“The technical operation is entrusted to Gennaro Gattuso, who leaves his post as Primavera Coach and to whom we send the warmest wishes.”
Replacing the former Italy striker is Gattuso, who had only returned over the summer to lead the Rossoneri’s Primavera team.
