Milan sack Inzaghi

MILAN: AC Milan on Tuesday sacked coach Filippo Inzaghi after what has been a bitterly disappointing season, immediately replacing him with Serbian Sinisa Mihajlovic. Milan will not compete in Europe next season after finishing down in mid-table alongside city rivals Inter, spelling the end for Inzaghi, who failed to lift the club out of the gloom after taking over from former team-mate Clarence Seedorf last season. “AC Milan announces that it has sacked first team coach Filippo Inzaghi, whom it thanks for the work done,” the Serie A giants said in a statement. Former Sampdoria coach Mihajlovic has signed a two-year deal with Milan, the release from seven-time European champions added.
