​AC Milan sporting director Massimiliano Mirabelli hopes that Gennaro Gattuso can remain the manager of the Rossoneri for the next decade at the least.





Former Milan fan favourite Gattuso was promoted from his role as the club's youth team coach to the post of the first team manager after Vincenzo Montella was sacked in November. Milan entrusted the responsibility of running the club to Gattuso despite the Italian not having any prior coaching experience.





Things have improved since he took over as Milan moved from the second half of the table to eighth position in the Serie A table at the moment. Not only that, they are still unbeaten in 2018.

Speaking about Gattuso, Mirabelli told reporters, "When we gave him the Milan bench he was considered a gamble by many but we chose Gattuso because we thought he was a coach able to replace Montella and stay for a long time, even 10 years. He is proving to be a great coach. We are not working to think of a substitute."





While Milan have grown by leaps and bounds, Not all of their high-profile transfers have hit the mark, with Portugal international Andre Silva yet to score in Serie A and fellow striker Nikola Kalinic netting a solitary goal since October. Calhanoglu was criticised to but he responded pretty well since then.
