MILAN (Reuters) - AC Milan coach Gennaro Gattuso parted company with the club on Tuesday, two days after his team narrowly missed out on qualifying for next season's Champions League to extend their absence from the competition to six seasons. "AC Milan announces Gennaro Gattuso will leave his role as the club's first team manager by mutual agreement with immediate effect," said the statement. Gattuso took charge of Milan, his first job coaching a Serie A side, in November 2017. Gattuso led Milan to sixth place in Serie A last season and the Coppa Italia final, where they lost 4-0 to Juventus. They finished fifth in Serie A, one point and one place outside the top four who qualified for the Champions League.
