Montella: Supercoppa success can propel AC Milan to greatness

The coach believes his side were worthy winners of the prize in Doha after their penalty-shootout victory over Juventus in Doha, and hopes it can kickstart a new era.

Vincenzo Montella hopes Friday's Supercoppa Italiana success over Juventus can propel AC Milan back to the reckoning for silverware.



Montella's side won 4-3 on penalties after a 1-1 draw in Doha, Gianluigi Donnarumma making a crucial spot-kick save from Paulo Dybala, who had blazed a gilt-edged chance over the bar towards the end of extra time.

The Rossoneri's first trophy under their new coach is a nice boost given they sit fifth in the Serie A table, having picked up a solitary point from six available before the winter break.
