Marco Giampaolo Officially Confirmed as New Milan Head Coach on Initial 2-Year Deal

Marco Giampaolo has been officially unveiled as the new manager of Milan, after weeks of speculation linking him with the Serie A giants.

The role had become vacant following Gennaro Gattuso's decision to resign after the club failed to secure Champions League football by a single point.

Milan have now turned to Giampaolo, a move widely expected to happen after the Italian terminated his contract with Sampdoria following three years in charge of the Serie A outfit.

Having grown impatient with his former club's unwillingness to push on and spend money in the transfer market, I Rossoneri now provide the perfect platform for the 51-year-old to hone his skills as a football manager.
