AC Milan Appoint Mihajlovic as New Gafa — AC Millan have officially announced the appointment of its ex-defender and former Sampdoria boss Sinisa Mihajlovic as Filippo Inzaghi’s successor.
The Serbian’s arrival was confirmed just under 90 minutes after the Rossoneri confirmed the dismissal of Filippo Inzaghi halfway through his deal with the San Siro side.
The 46-year-old had initially been expected to succeed Rafael Benitez as Napoli boss but the former Inter defender has now returned to San Siro to take charge of the Nerazzurri’s city rivals.
“Sinisa Mihajlovic, who has signed a two-year contract, will be the new coach of AC Milan for next season,” read a statement on the Rossoneri’s official website.“The club wish him good luck in his work and the best results.”
Milan had originally sought to re-hire Carlo Ancelotti, after he was sacked by Real Madrid last month, but the 55-year-old ultimately decided to follow through with his plan to take a break from the game in order to recover from scheduled back surgery.
Mihajlovic spent two years with Inter before retiring in 2006 and taking on the role of assistant coach Roberto Mancini, who is now back in charge of the Nerazzurri.
The set-piece specialist then took the top job at Bologna before enjoying spells with Catania, Fiorentina, Serbia and Samp.
