 Allegri never at risk, says Galliani

MILAN, Oct. 18 (Xinhua) -- AC Milan vice¹ president Adriano Galliani has insisted that the Rossoneri boss Massimiliano Alleri was never in danger of being sacked despite the poor start of his side's campaign this season.

Milan suffer four losses from their first seven Serie A games, and Allegri was alleged² to be under huge pressure.

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.
