GENNARO GATTUSO STEPS DOWN AS AC MILAN MANAGER AFTER CLUB FAILED TO QUALIFY FOR THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE

The Seria A club have announced that Gennaro Gattuso has left his role as AC Milan head coach.

Gattuso revealed this to the football world earlier on Tuesday that he would be resigning from his post after a frustrating campaign.

Having slumped out of the Europa League in the group stages, Milan narrowly missed out on securing Champions League qualification in Serie A.

And club great Gattuso, who won the Serie A and Champions League twice as a player winner with Milan has decided to move on, the Rossoneri confirming both parties came to a mutual agreement.

Milan CEO Ivan Gazidis was quoted saying “I have had the privilege to get to know Rino Gattuso over the past six months since my arrival at the club.

Gattuso ended his tenure, which started in November 2017, with a 3-2 win over SPAL on the final day of the Serie A season.

Lazio coach Simone Inzaghi and Sampdoria boss Marco Giampaolo are two of the favourites to take over.

Sporting director Leonardo is also leaving San Siro, with reports circulating he is set to return to Paris Saint-Germain.
