Former Chelsea manager Antonio Conte will reportedly be announced as the successor to AC Milan boss Gennaro Gattuso, who is thought to be on the verge of being sacked.

Conte left Chelsea earlier this month after two seasons at the club, despite winning the Premier League title and the FA Cup during his time in England.

Former Napoli boss Maurizio Sarri has been named as the new Blues head coach, after leaving the Serie A club four points off a first Scudetto in 28 years last season.

Meanwhile, Gattuso led Milan to a solid sixth-place finish alongside European football last campaign, but Radio Kiss Kiss reports that the availability of Conte has tempted the club to part ways with their current coach.

Conte already has managerial experience in Italy, having won three Scudettos and two Supercoppas Italiana in a three-year stint with Juventus.
