Vincenzo Montella

AC Milan manager, Vincenzo Montella, appeared to have a great year ahead of him in Serie A. The club's management invested large amounts of money in signing stars like Ricardo Rodríguez or André Silva; however, the results were not the best and the coach ended up leaving the club on bad terms.

Meses después, Montella is expected to be the new manager of Sevilla, replacing Argentine Eduardo Berizzo, although the Italian coach must resolve his contract with Milan first.

Sources close to this operation mentioned Wednesday afternoon that Montella is the chosen coach, but the hiring cannot be made official until his link with Milan is finalized, which could happen in the next few hours or even Thursday morning.

On Thursday afternoon, the team is scheduled to meet at the Sevilla sports city to resume work after a week of Christmas holidays, and it is expected that the new coach will already be present at that session.

The next match for the Sevillian team will be on Wednesday, January 3 at the Ramón de Carranza stadium against Cádiz, in the round of 16 of the Copa del Rey.

The Sevilla board of directors delegated the choice of Berizzo's replacement to its executive committee and the sports management headed by Óscar Arias on Wednesday afternoon.
