Montella on the brink after Juve defeat, AC Milan president ‘monitors’ possible successor

Montella on the brink after Juve defeat, AC Milan president ‘monitors’ possible successor

Vincenzo Montella is walking on thin ice after AC Milan’s fifth successive defeat in Serie A this season. The rossoneri have five defeats in ten league games so far this season and find themselves ten points behind a Champions League spot.

The Serie A giants have only managed 16 points in Serie A so far and according to Sky Sport the rossoneri president Han Li is losing patience with the Italian tactician who has an exit clause in his contract that can be activated if AC Milan fail to finish top four.

According to the Italian broadcasters Yonghong Li’s right-hand man Han Li went to watch AC Milan’s Primavera team this morning, a move that puts Montella’s future under even more doubt as the Primavera team Gennaro Gattuso is considered a potential replacement of Montella should he face sack in the coming weeks. Paulo Sousa and Walter Mazzarri are also being linked with the rossoneri job.
