Christian Abbiati has extended his AC Milan contract by two years until June 2013 as he prepares to compete with Marco Amelia to be new coach Massimilano Allegri's first choice.
AC Milan have given goalkeeper Christian Abbiati a two-year contract extension until June 2013 as he prepares to compete to be first choice in the coming season.
Abbiati, 33, rejoined Milan in 2008 after three years of loan spells to Juventus, Torino FC and Club Atlético de Madrid, having had a spell as regular No1 before Dida's emergence in 2002. The former AC Monza Brianza 1912 goalkeeper missed the start of last season after a long-term knee injury but recovered to make 11 appearances, helping Milan to third place in Serie A and a 2010/11 UEFA Champions League group-stage berth. The departure of Dida and Marco Storari's move to Juventus means that Abbiati and on-loan Genoa CFC keeper Marco Amelia are competing to be new coach Massimilano Allegri's first choice.

Free agent Cole heads for Liverpool
Roy Hodgson has made his second signing as the new manager of Liverpool FC by bringing in the former Chelsea FC midfielder Joe Cole on a four-year contract, subject to a medical.
Liverpool FC have announced the signing of English international midfielder Joe Cole on a four-year deal, subject to a medical at the club's training camp in Switzerland.
The 28-year-old joins Liverpool after his contract with Chelsea FC expired at the end of last season, and becomes new manager Roy Hodgson's second signing. Cole made two substitute appearances for England at the FIFA World Cup to take his caps tally to 56, and arrives at Anfield following an unsettled season at Stamford Bridge during which he made 26 Premier League appearances, 12 of them as a substitute. He came off the bench to make his last appearance for Chelsea in their 1-0 FA Cup final victory against Portsmouth FC.
Cole came up through the ranks at West Ham United FC before joining Chelsea for €9.3m in the summer of 2003. He enjoyed tremendous success in west London, helping Chelsea to three Premier League titles and three FA Cups during his seven years at the club.
He also featured for Chelsea as they lost the 2007/08 UEFA Champions League final to Manchester United FC on penalties, the first time the London club had reached the showpiece. Cole replaces Yossi Benayoun, who signed for Chelsea at the start of the month, and becomes Liverpool's second major new arrival of the summer following the capture of striker Milan Jovanović from R. Standard de Liège.
Hodgson succeeded Rafael Benítez on 1 July after leading Fulham FC to the UEFA Europa League final last term. He will have another shot at the competition this season with Liverpool, who finished seventh in the Premier League and kick off in the third qualifying round against either FK Rabotnicki, of the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, or Armenia's FC Mika on 29 July.
