Allegri My future is not in question

The 45-year-old has dismissed the possibility of leaving the club this summer and feels Sunday's clash with Fiorentina is decisive in their bid for European football AC Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri believes his future at the club is "not in question" and says he is completely focused on qualifying for next season's Champions League.The Rossoneri endured a disastrous first half to the campaign, leading to suggestions he could exit San Siro, only to mastermind a reversal in fortunes since the turn of the year.That change of form has seen the club march up the table and into third spot, leaving them firmly in the hunt for qualification to Europe's elite competition and Allegri ever-confident about the security of his job."At the moment if I was to say that I have the time to read all the things being written I’d be lying," he told reporters."I’m focused on third place. The season started in a certain way and now we are where we are and we’re playing for Champions League qualification."I don’t think my future is in question. You can’t reduce a coach’s role to the last five games. As always in any case, regardless of what I want to do, the choice will be made by the club and more specifically, the president. "The work done here in the last three years has been good and I think a third place finish would be a good achievement."I have a contract with the club and at the moment I’m not keen on discussing what the future may bring as it may affect the team’s objectives.”Allegri also recognised the significance of Sunday's clash with Catania, claiming that it will be vital in determining who finishes third in Serie A.“It’s fundamental for third place and the support Tennessee Titans jerseys Presentation from the fans will be important. Tomorrow’s game will have a big effect on who finishes third," he added.“As far as the fixture list goes, I think tomorrow’s game is the key to the last five matches. We’re at the end of the season and games at this stage are different. We’ll have to play well and make as few Seattle Seahawks jerseys Presentation mistakes as possible. Tomorrow we have to win."And the Italian concluded by revealing he has a selection dilemma ahead of the crunch encounter.“[Kevin-Prince] Boateng up front is a possibility but we’ll see between today and tomorrow. Everyone is fine except [Christian] Abbiati and [Massimo] Ambrosini and I hope that we won’t be forced into making Minnesota Vikings jerseys Presentation any changes. "I don’t know who’ll play between [Mattia] De Sciglio and [Kevin] Constant or if [Antonio] Nocerino will start in the middle.”

Allegri Milan will decide my future

The 45-year-old was unable to make a long-term commitment to the Rossoneri as rumours linking him with a move to Roma continue to circulate Massimiliano Allegri has admitted that he remains in the dark over his future at AC Milan following Sunday's 2-1 victory over Siena.The Rossoneri coach faces an uncertain summer despite guiding the club to Serie A's third and final Champions League berth ahead of Fiorentina, as rumours of a possible switch to Roma gather pace.And speaking after the clash in Tuscany, the former Cagliari boss conceded that Milan are in control of his own destiny as he hailed the team for the progress they have made during his three-year term.“I have a contract, New York Giants jerseys Presentation so when a season ends you talk to the club in order to find out what's next. The club might want to replace me, I don’t know,” he told Sky Sport Italia.“I certainly can’t walk away, as I have a contract, so it is their decision, but right now talking about the future is too early. The season has Tampa Bay Buccaneers jerseys Presentation just ended so let me enjoy this victory!“Right now I want to talk about the game, what happened this evening and what the team achieved with 42 points in the second half of the season.“In three years the president has put his faith in me and could so easily have fired me this season after the first eight games. We have introduced many new young faces to the mix and helped the older guard too, so Milan have solid foundations.“In my three years at Milan we have picked up many points, New Orleans Saints jerseys Presentation so at the end of the day what counts are results. I think we have achieved our objectives in the circumstances.”Milan were trailing Siena and seemed to be heading for the Europa League until the latter stages of the second half when they were awarded a controversial penalty, but Allegri claimed that the decision balanced out previous calls against his side.“During a season, you get some penalties that are dubious and others that are stonewall but not given. We were two points ahead going into the weekend, our destiny was in our hands, so we got the victory,” he added.“It was normal to be a little tired, especially psychologically, after this incredible fightback from a poor start to the campaign.“We were faced with a great goalkeeper and hit the woodwork, while we were a little too hasty and felt the tension of the occasion.“I want to thank the players and the fans, who deserved a night like this. Stephan El Shaarawy was on the bench because he did not seem to be in good shape, while we needed someone with Robinho’s characteristics."
