AC Milan have parted ways with head coach Marco Giampaolo just four months after his appointment in the San Siro dugout.
A statement on the club’s official website reads: “AC Milan announces that it has relieved Marco Giampaolo of his role as coach of the first team.
“The club intends to thank Marco for the activity carried out so far and wishes him the best professional successes.”
Giampaolo took over this summer from Gennaro Gattuso, who departed the club after a season and a half at the helm.
But Giampaolo has lasted significantly less time than his predecessor, seeing his time in Milan end less than two months into the Serie A campaign.
The 52-year-old took his place in the San Siro hot seat after three seasons in charge of
Sampdoria, but was unable to replicate the success he enjoyed at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris.
AC Milan currently sit 13th in the Serie A table – just three points above the relegation zone – having won three and lost four of their opening seven matches of the league season.
Giampaolo’s last game in charge was a 2-1 win over Genoa at the weekend, but that result wasn’t enough to save his job.
That win over Genoa was preceded by three consecutive defeats, with Milan falling to city rivals Inter before also losing to Torino and Fiorentina. (Reuters)
