AC Milan head coach Gennaro Gattuso will be rewarded with a new contract this Easter, the club have said.

The former Milan midfield strongman could sign the new deal prior to the city derby against Inter Milan on April 4.


Gattuso took over Milan from Vincenzo Montella last November.

He rekindled the hopes of the seven-time European champions as they sit within the Europa League spots and with hopes of qualifying for the Champions League.

“When we open our eggs this Easter, we’re going to find Gennaro Gattuso’s renewal inside,” the club’s sporting director Massimiliano Mirabelli told newsmen.

Gattuso is still on the same wage he earned when in charge of the youth team — a reported 120,000 euros ($150,000) a year — making him the lowest-paid coach in the Italian top-flight.

His new deal would be around the two million euro ($2.4 million) per season, according to Gazzetta Dello Sport.
