AC MILAN FIRE ALLEGRI, INZAGHI TO BE NAMED NEW COACH

The Serie A outfit have opted to dismiss the 46-year-old following
their disappointing performances this season, with Mauro Tassotti
given the temporary reins

AC Milanhave confirmed the sacking of head coach Massimiliano Allegri
with immediate effect in the wake of theRossoneri's 4-3 loss against
Sassuolo on Sunday.
Allegri recently announced that he would leave Milan at the end of the
2013-14 campaign, but the club decided on Monday to relieve him right
away following their ongoing struggles this term.
With Allegri out of the Giuseppe Meazza, Milan assistant coach Mauro
Tassotti has been handed the caretaker reins and thanked the departed
trainer for his efforts at the club.
The Italian giants said in a press release: "AC Milan have dismissed
the coach of the first team and his staff, Massimiliano Allegri, with
immediate effect.
"AC Milan would like to thank Mr. Allegri and his staff for the work
done and we wish them the best professional success. The team is to be
provisionally coached by Mauro Tassotti."
Milan currently sit 11th in Serie A with 22 points from 19 games,
having won just five games in the first half of the season, and the
San Siro side have consequently opted to dismiss Allegri.
The 46-year-old took charge of Milan in the summer of 2010 and
immediately guided theRossonerito the Serie A title in his first
season at the helm.
However, Milan had to settle for second place the following campaign,
while they came in only third last term after selling star players
Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Thiago Silva to Paris Saint-Germain at the
start of the season.
Milan's slide has continued in 2013-14 as they find themselves
fighting against relegation rather than challenging for the Champions
League spots, eventually leading to Allegri's exit.
The Livorno-born coach previously was in charge of Aglianese, SPAL,
Grosseto, Lecco, Sassuolo and Cagliari.

However AC Milan are reportedly preparing to sack Massimiliano Allegri
on Monday, with Pippo Inzaghi set to be named head coach until the end
of the season, before the arrival of Clarence Seedorf.
