"Milan" announces that they have extended their contract with head coach Vincenzo Montella until 2019. Despite only securing one victory in the last seven matches, the "rossoneri" finished in sixth place in the Italian league and secured a spot in the UEFA Europa League. However, there were speculations in the media that the new owners from China were looking for a new coach in order to return to the elite of European football. This did not happen, and even before the start of the summer, Montella has already attracted the first new player to "Milan" - "Villarreal" defender Matteo Musacchio. In an official statement, the club refers to this season as positive.
