Gennaro Gattuso to the Rescue?
Gennaro Gattuso was a former midfielder who played for Milan from 1999 to 2013. During the 39-year-old's career with the Italian side, he won the Serie A title and the Champions League twice.
With his appointment, he would be returning to an AC Milan side he is familiar with, having managed their youth sides previously.
Gattuso would have his work cut out for him because Milan which has won the Italian title 18 times and is also seven-time European champions has failed to finish in the top three of the Serie A since 2013.
Since last year, after the take-over of Chinese businessman Li Yonghong, AC Milan have spent £205m on new signings, with the majority arriving in this years summer transfer window.
