AC Milan appoint Vincenzo Montella as new manager

AC Milan have announced the appointment of Vincenzo Montella as the club's new manager.

Montella leaves Sampdoria to move to San Siro on a two-year deal, replacing Cristian Brocchi at the helm of the Italian giants.

The 42-year-old becomes the club's sixth manager in the last two years as Milan look to end a three-year absence from European football.
