Galliani: Montella gives Milan a fresh start

AC Milan joint-chief executive Adriano Galliani is delighted with the appointment of new coach Vincenzo Montella.

The appointment of Vincenzo Montella is a clean slate for AC Milan, according to joint-chief executive officer Adriano Galliani.

Montella was announced as Cristian Brocchi's replacement on Tuesday, making him the club's fourth permanent coach since Juventus boss Massimiliano Allegri was sacked in 2014.

The former Fiorentina coach will be tasked with rebuilding the Italian giants to their former glories following last season's seventh-place finish in the Serie A - meaning another campaign without European football - and a runners-up finish in the Coppa Italia.
