AC Milan have sacked head coach Clarence Seedorf after less than five months in charge, and named Filippo Inzaghi as his replacement.
Former Italy striker Inzaghi, 40, has signed a two-year deal to step up from his role as a youth-team coach.
He won 11 of his 19 league matches in charge, but Milan finished eighth, 45 points behind champions Juventus.
Former Netherlands international Seedorf joined Milan as a player in 2002, a year after Inzaghi. Both left the club in 2012, with Inzaghi retiring and Seedorf signing for Brazilian club Botafogo.
Milan secured two Serie A titles and two Champions League crowns while Inzaghi and Seedorf were players, while the former won the World Cup in 2006.
A club statement announced that Inzaghi, who played alongside Seedorf for a decade and won the Champions League with him in 2007, had signed a deal until June 30, 2016.
