Ghana midfielder Sulley Muntari will work with a new coach at AC Milan after the club announced on Monday that Massimiliano Allegri has been sacked.

The 46-year-old manager was already leaving the club at the end of the season, but was told to go earlier in the wake of Sunday's 4-3 loss to minnows Sassuolo.

Allegri's departure brings to an end his three-and-a-half-year stay with the Rossoneri, with the clear highlight being their 2011 Serie A win.

“AC Milan announce they have dismissed as coach of the first team, with immediate effect, Mr Massimiliano Allegri and his staff,” read a Milan statement.

“AC Milan would like to thank Mr Allegri and his staff for the work done and their best professional achievements.”

The short release added that assistant coach Mauro Tassotti would take control, although he is expected to soon be replaced by a permanent manager.
