Massimiliano Allegri has been hired as the new coach of AC Milan following the sacking of Sergio Conceicao, the Serie A club said yesterday.

“AC Milan is pleased to announce that Massimiliano Allegri has been appointed as the Head Coach of the men’s first team,” said Milan in a statement.

Milan did not reveal details of the deal but Italian media widely report that Allegri has signed a two-year contract worth five million euros a season, with the option to extend for a further two years.

Allegri has become the fourth coach in a year for Milan, who finished this past Serie A season in eighth place and outside the European places.

The 57-year-old led Milan to the 2011 Scudetto in his first stint in charge, between 2010 and 2014. He won five more league titles in two spells at Juventus.
