Cristian Brocchi has taken over on the AC Milan bench after Sinisa Mihajlovic was relieved of his duties.
The Serbian reportedly received a phone call from vice-president Adriano Galliani to inform him that he was no longer Rossoneri coach and the club later confirmed the managerial change.
“Mihajlovic has been removed from his role as AC Milan coach,” read a statement on the club’s official website.
“The most sincere thanks go to Mr Mihajlovic for his work which was performed with the utmost correctness.
“The management of the team now passes to Mr Cristian Brocchi until the end of the season and he receives our messages of good luck in the job.”
The former Milan and Lazio player Brocchi had been in charge of the Diavolo’s Primavera side since June 2014 when he took over from Filippo Inzaghi who was also promoted to the first team.
