AC Milan considering parting company with Marco Giampaolo?

AC Milan are reportedly considering potential replacements for recently-appointed manager Marco Giampaolo.

After a solid three-year period with Sampdoria, Giampaolo was handed the reins at San Siro earlier this summer, tasked with the job of getting Milan back in the Champions League.

However, with three defeats coming from his first five games, Corriere dello Sport claims that Milan are already contemplating another change in the dugout.

The report says that Gennaro Gattuso, who was only sacked as boss earlier this year, is one of three candidates to replace Giampaolo.

Former Roma manager Luciano Spalletti and the much-travelled Claudio Ranieri are also said to be in contention.

Milan currently sit in 13th position in the top-flight standings, nine points adrift of leaders and rivals Inter Milan.
