Renato Gattuso is set to sign a new
contract with AC Milan, probably until 2021, sources said
Thursday.
The 40-year-old coach will get a salary of around two million
euros a year, sharply higher than his current 120,000 euros - a
contract that formally only had him coaching the youth team
until 2019.
Bumped up to senior team coach at the end of November in
place of Vincenzo Montella, Gattuso has brought Milan close to
qualifying for the Champions League although it may have to
settle for the Europa League.
Milan is in six place after a Milanese derby goalless draw,
eight points below fourth spot occupied by Inter and eight
matches from the end of the championship.
The former Milan midfielder also has a chance of winning a
title, in the Italian Cup final against Juventus on May 9.
Milan's Europa League run ended in the last 16 to a double
defeat by Arsenal.
