Milan are reportedly set to offer Antonio Conte a contract worth over €6m-a-year to take over as Coach.

Rumours persist that the former Chelsea boss has been sounded out by the Rossoneri to replace Gennaro Gattuso in the San Siro dugout.

Gattuso replaced the sacked Vincenzo Montella midway through last season and presided over an improvement in the Diavolo’s fortunes, leading them to a sixth place Serie A finish.

Milan are reportedly set to offer Antonio Conte a contract worth over €6m-a-year to take over as Coach.

Rumours persist that the former Chelsea boss has been sounded out by the Rossoneri to replace Gennaro Gattuso in the San Siro dugout.

Gattuso replaced the sacked Vincenzo Montella midway through last season and presided over an improvement in the Diavolo’s fortunes, leading them to a sixth place Serie A finish.

And despite new Milan general manager Leonardo insisting Gattuso’s job is safe, speculation continues that Conte is poised for a return to his homeland.

The Daily Mirror claims that Conte, who has won League titles with both Juventus and Chelsea, has been identified as the man to return Milan to their former glories – with a lucrative deal for the 48-year-old about to be put on the table.

However, any agreement is likely to be complicated by the fact Conte is currently embroiled in a legal battle with his former employers at Stamford Bridge.

The former Italy boss, sacked by Chelsea earlier this month, believes he is due around £9m from the final year of his contract in London.
