Newly appointed AC Milan coach Sinisa Mihajlovic reportedly wants club legend Gennaro Gattuso to be his assistant at the Giuseppe Meazza.

The Serbian’s long-awaited arrival in Milan was confirmed on Tuesday just minutes after previous coach Filippo Inzaghi’s departure was announced, and now it appears as though the new man at the helm already has certain ideas regarding the club’s leadership.

According to TuttoMercatoWeb, the former Sampdoria tactician is insistent on convincing former Rossoneri midfield hardman Gattuso to link up with him and form a coaching partnership.

However, it is believed that the retired Italy international is waiting on job offers from Italy’s second division, Serie B, and may decide to snub Milan’s advances.

The 37-year-old has already coached Swiss Super League side Sion, Palermo and Greek minnows OFI Crete since announcing his retirement from a playing capacity in 2013.
