Former Yugoslavia defender Mihajlovic, 46, has signed a
two-year deal after leaving Sampdoria earlier this month.
Inzaghi, 41, who played for Milan from 2001 until his
retirement in 2012, replaced former team-mate Clarence Seedorf as Milan coach
last June.
Milan finished in 10th place in Serie A, 35 points behind
champions Juventus, after only 13 wins in 2014-15.
Mihajlovic played for Roma, Sampdoria, Lazio and Inter Milan
during a 20-year senior career in which he won 63 international caps.
Having retired while at Inter, he began his coaching career
there as assistant to Roberto Mancini.
He had brief spells in charge at Bologna, Catania and
Fiorentina before he was appointed coach of
Serbia in April 2012, winning seven
and losing eight of his 19 matches in charge.
Mihajlovic joined Sampdoria in November 2013 and took them
to 12th place that season, improving to seventh place last term.
Inzaghi, meanwhile, became Milan youth-team coach after
retiring as a player before succeeding Seedorf, who only lasted five months in
the role.
AC Milan have won 18 Serie A titles and seven European Cups.
