Inzaghi takes up coaching role

AC Milan striker Filippo Inzaghi has ended his playing career to take over as the club's youth-team coach.



The 38-year-old made just seven substitute appearances for the Rossoneri last season, scoring the final goal of his 22-year career with an 82nd-minute winner in his farewell appearance, a 2-1 win over Novara on 13 May.



He ends his career second on the all-time goalscoring charts in European competition with 70, bettered only by Raul's 77, and in all he scored 126 times in 300 appearances for Milan.



He added 25 in 57 caps for Italy, which never lost a match in which Inzaghi scored.



He had been linked with moves to Watford, under new coach Gianfranco Zola, or Malaga but has signed a two-year contract to coach Milan's Allievi Nazionali (national students), its junior squad.
