Vincenzo Montella has been dismissed as Milan manager after a disappointing start to the season which has seen the Rossoneri slip to seventh place in Serie A.
Gennaro Gattuso, who made over 400 appearances for the club as a player and has been head coach of the club’s youth team, has been appointed as new first-team coach.
Milan are in seventh place in Serie A, 18 points behind leaders Napoli. The decision comes after they were held to a goalless draw by Torino at the weekend.
A club statement released on their official Twitter account read: “AC Milan 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.”
Milan have won just twice in their last nine league matches and Sunday’s result was the fourth successive home league game without a goal.
Just six wins in Serie A have cost Montella his job as his impressive start to the campaign, winning 10 of the first 12 matches in all competitions, faded quickly.
