Filippo Inzaghi has insisted he will not be fired as AC Milan, despite the club’s recent poor run of results.
The former Rossoneri striker replaced Clarence Seedorf at the San Siro, but has struggled to help the Serie A club improve.
Milan currently sit in eighth place in the league, after a four-match winless run. According to reports in Italy, former Roman coach Luciano Spalletti, is being considered to take over from Inzaghi. But the former Azzurri striker says he is not concerned about such rumours.
“The president Silvio Berlusconi has been calling me all week twice a day,” Inzaghi told reporters. “I am fully aware of his closeness and that of the club’s in an uneasy moment.
“I am sure that we will come out of it. Every match is decisive for me. We have two tough matches against Lazio on Saturday in Serie A then in the Coppa Italia on Tuesday. Nothing has been compromised because we’re in a normal position in the league table.
“Often all you need is just one match, a spark to get out of it. I expected a bit of a telling off from Berlusconi which didn’t happen because he knows that we’re giving our all and working very well.
“A coach makes mistakes even after 25 years of coaching. I am moving on with my team convinced of my ideas.
“The criticisms make me stronger, perhaps because in these 20 years I didn’t always receive compliments. I am sure that we will do well based on the hunger that I saw in training by my players. I feel very calm.”
