After spearheading a remarkable turnaround, Milan legend to be offered new contract

Gennaro Gattuso took over the seven-time European champions from Vincenzo Montella on a caretaker basis last November.

AC MILAN HAVE confirmed that coach Gennaro Gattuso will be rewarded with a new contract this Easter.

Gattuso, the clubโ€™s former youth team coach, took over the seven-time European champions from Vincenzo Montella on a caretaker basis last November and has rekindled the clubโ€™s season as they sit within the Europa League spots and with hopes of qualifying for the Champions League.

โ€œWhen we open our eggs this Easter, weโ€™re going to find Gennaro Gattusoโ€™s renewal inside,โ€ the clubโ€™s sporting director Massimiliano Mirabelli told journalists.

โ€œIโ€™ve been telling you for some time, although perhaps you only know him as a player, that Rino (Gattuso) is already an important coach and in the future will be one of the best in the world, so itโ€™s only right that Milan keep hold of him.

We are working to start a new era with Gattuso, because we believe he is the right coach for a Milan that must be a protagonist over the next few years.โ€

Gattuso โ€” an AC Milan player from 1999-2012 โ€” has guided the northern Italian side on a 10-game unbeaten streak in Serie A, including eight wins, ahead of Saturdayโ€™s game against champions Juventus in Turin.

Italian media reports suggest he could sign the new deal prior to the city derby against Inter Milan on 4 April.

โ€œWe all want it (contract), Rino like all of us, we just need to find the right time to do what we have to do,โ€ added Mirabelli.
