AC Milan said Monday that coach
Vincenzo Montella has been sacked after their poor form
continued with a 0-0 draw with Torino on Sunday.
AC Milan youth-team boss Rino Gattuso, a former AC Milan and
Italy midfielder, has been put in charge of the team.
The move came with Milan in seventh place in Serie A having
failed to score in their last four home games, where they have
not win since a 2-0 win against SPAL on September 20.
Milan got through to the knock-out stage of the Europa League
with a game to spare.
It was the fifth sacking in Serie A this season.
Former Fiorentina coach Montella said he was sorry he had not
done enough with the team.
Former forward Carlos Bacca, offloaded to Villareal in the
closed season, said "God comes late but never forgets".
Gattuso had previously coached Sion, Palermo and FC Crete.
