Montella is 'painting a masterpiece' at Milan, says Sacchi

The Rossoneri look a revitalised outfit under the Italian's guidance and one of the club's former managers has nothing but praise for his efforts

Vincenzo Montella is "painting a masterpiece" at Milan, according to the club's esteemed former coach Arrigo Sacchi.

Montella succeeded interim boss Cristian Brocchi in June at the end of another disappointing season at San Siro, in which Milan finished seventh in Serie A and 34 points behind champions Juventus.

The former Roma striker has inspired something of a revival this season, however, with his young side in the hunt for the Champions League places and having ended their five-year wait for a trophy by beating Juve on penalties in the Supercoppa Italiana in December.
