Allegri never at risk, says Galliani

Milan, Oct 19 (IANS): AC Milan vice president Adriano Galliani has insisted that Rossoneri boss Massimiliano Allegri was never in danger of being sacked despite the poor start of his side’s campaign this football season.

Milan have suffered four losses from their first seven Serie A games, and Allegri was said to be under huge pressure, reports Xinhua.

Galliani, speaking ahead of this weekend’s game at Lazio, seemed to assure him of his future at Milan.

“We’ve never thought about changing the coach,” he told Sky Sport Italia. “We have the greatest faith in Allegri.

“With him at the helm, we collected more points than anyone – 162 points to be exact. He opened a new era and we are sure that we will return to the top,” he said.
