Milan 'contact Ukraine coach Shevchenko, but still give Giampaolo a chance'

Tuttomercatoweb claim Milan have contacted Ukraine Coach Andriy Shevchenko, but given Marco Giampaolo one more game to save his job.

The Rossoneri were crushed 3-1 at home by Fiorentina this evening, meaning they have lost four of their first six Serie A games.

According to the latest reports from TMW, the club has begun talks with legend Shevchenko, who is currently the manager of the Ukraine national team.

Today is Sheva’s 43rd birthday and he has been on the Ukraine bench since the summer of 2016, under contract until July 2020.

The former striker had two different spells at Milan as a player, from 1999-2006 and again on loan from Chelsea in 2008-09.

Giampaolo will be given one more game to turn things around and that is next weekend against Genoa, who are also in crisis.

Curiously, it’s rumoured Genoa have told Aurelio Andreazzoli he’ll be fired if he doesn’t win that match and will be replaced by former Milan boss Gennaro Gattuso.
