Milan have insisted that boss Massimiliano Allegri will not be leaving for Roma at the end of the season.

The tactician has been paired with the capital club for 2013-14 after the decision to sack Zdenek Zeman on Saturday.

“Roma can’t steal Coaches from other clubs,” the official noted. “Allegri will still be the Milan boss next season.

“He’s a good tactician and we’ve always known that. He reminds me of Carlo Ancelotti, for how balanced he is.”

Allegri’s job was thought to be on the line in the Autumn after a problematic start to the campaign and Silvio Berlusconi’s open admiration for future Bayern Munich boss Pep Guardiola.

“The club were right to not make a coaching change,” Galliani continued. “Other clubs would not have done the same.

“We’re climbing back up the table and fighting for the positions that we always have done. We’re now travelling at our pace from the last two seasons.”

The Diavolo have won eight of their last 10 games in Serie A. Their only loss came at Roma in that run, while they were held at Sampdoria.

Allegri’s contract at Milan expires in June 2014.

Kurt, you just made my day! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

At this point I'd enjoy seeing Allegri get an extension just so I could see the meltdown that would follow as soon as han hears of it.

Seriously though I think Allegri deserves to stay on if he gets us to 3rd and only deserves an extension if he magically pulls the scudetto out of his *** for us. Assuming he gets us to third, he gets his last year of his contract as a put up or shut up year to make a serious run at the CL and scudetto (hopefully with the help of one or two good signings in the summer.)

The day Allegri wins a Scudetto without Ibrahimovic single handedly winning games for him I'l say he deserves it as well. This should show you how much I'm sure that he wouldn't be able to achieve it in all his years based on his sole merit as a tactician.

I personally think that this talk from Galliani is just that: talk. It's pretty much known that we've been shopping around for a new coach for a while now. And with a new name being linked with us every week it's pretty obvious that the men in suites haven't been happy with Allegri for a while now. Only Galliani seems blinded to his mediocrity
