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.

 

Milan have already qualified for the knockout stages of the Europa League with a match to spare but their dwindling domestic form has been a concern for some time.

 

Former midfielder Gattuso played for Milan between 1999 and 2013, winning two Serie A titles and the Champions League twice.

 

He has guided the club’s Primavera side to third in their table, just two behind leaders Atalanta and behind city rivals Inter on goal difference only, having won six of their last eight matches.

I agree that sometimes McLeish teams were dire to watch

but he had to downsize. Newman and Cannegia were victims of this. Replacement Cappuco(?) wasn't up to much.

He did win us that Scottish cup against them and he did take us to the last 16 of the CL. First Scottish team to get there.

I think his time has gone though
