Ambrosini staying at San Siro

AC Milan have been handed a boost as they prepare for the UEFA Champions League final with the news that Massimo Ambrosini has signed a new contract.

The midfielder, who turns 30 later this month, has committed himself to the Rossoneri until June 2010, adding two years to his existing deal. The Italian international has played 19 games in Serie A and eleven in the UEFA Champions League this season, his eleventh at San Siro. Milan will face Liverpool FC for the right to be crowned continental champions in Athens on 23 May. Ambrosini has particular reason to be involved as he missed out on the 2005 final defeat by Liverpool with a thigh injury.
