Revealed: AC Milan’s plan to hire Conte includes Gattuso
With three games lost out of seven, Montella’s position at AC Milan is at risk.
According to Il Corriere dello Sport, Montella’s job would be in danger if he loses the derby clash against Inter on Sunday.
AC Milan executives know Conte is an impossible target for the present but they are aware that he could be leaving Chelsea as soon as the season ends.
That’s why the rossoneri would consider to promote Rino Gattuso to senior team boss if Montella loses and gets sacked after the derby clash.
Gattuso is currently the manager of the Primavera team and he would be promoted to senior team if Montella faces sack.
AC Milan want to hire Conte at the end of the season and the appointment of Gattuso will give them time to wait for the Italian tactician to arrive at the end of the season. Montella, however, still wants to prove that he is the right manager for the job.
