AC Milan have confirmed the appointment of Stefano Pioli as their new manager.

The 53-year-old has signed a two-year deal with the Serie A side to replace the sacked Marco Giampaolo.

Giampaolo paid the price for Milan’s dreadful start to the season and was dismissed earlier this week after just seven games in charge. It is the shortest reign in the club’s history.

The fans of the San Siro however are clamouring for the former inter and Lazio boss to go due to lack of solid record to solve the team’s teaming problems as he has never won any title as a coach in senior football.
