Sky: AC Milan have chosen Vincenzo Montella for the bench

Late night reports from Sky’s Gianluca Di Marzio suggest that Milan have decided to go with Montella for the bench next season, as a meeting convinced both parties to make the final call.

Vincenzo Montella, currently the manager for Sampdoria, looks set to replace Cristian Brocchi at the San Siro dugout next season. A meeting with Galliani, Montella and Gancikoff (The Chinese consortium’s right hand) took place between Thursday and Friday last week, which had a positive outcome.

Milan could clinch the deal with Sampdoria tomorrow, as they’ll have to pay Montella’s release clause valued at €1.1m.
