Allegri set for new contract until 2014

The coach is in line for an extension to his current deal as the Serie A champions look to reward the 43-year-old's successful first season in charge at San Siro.

AC Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri is set for a new contract that will keep him at the club until 2014 following his superb first season at San Siro, La Gazzetta dello Sport reports.

The 43-year-old tactician joined the club from Cagliari in the summer of 2010 and guided them to their first Serie A title since 2004 in his first year at the helm.

The former Livorno star went on to lead the San Siro giants to Supercoppa Italiana glory on Saturday as they beat Inter 2-1 and the Italian outfit are now ready to reward the coach for his good performances with a new deal.

Allegri's current contract runs until the summer of 2012, but Allegri is expected to sign an improved deal until 2014 in the near future.
