AC Milan Italian international defender Leonardo Bonucci has had a difficult time adjusting to life since signing for the Rossoneri after leaving Juventus this past summer.

Sky Sport Italia that under fire coach Vincenzo Montella has found a somewhat new role for the former Inter and Juventus defender in order to get him back into the old form which made Pep guardiola want to break the bank to bring him to Manchester City in the Premier League 2 summers ago.

According to the report, former Fiorentina and Roma coach Montella will continue with the 3 man defence but will move Bonucci to the right of the defence with former Roma defender Alessio Romagnoli playing in the middle whilst Swiss international Ricardo Rodriguez will play to the left when the Rossoneri host Napoli tomorrow night in their Serie A clash at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza in Milano's San Siro district with kick-off scheduled for 20.45 CET.

This way Montella is, reportedly, hoping to kick start Milan's 3-man defence both defensively as well as offensively.
