Retired AC Milan goalkeeper Christian Abbiati says coach Cristian Brocchi should be kept on.

The likes of former Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini and Sevilla's Unai Emery have been linked with Milan.

“I've heard from him, he's calm but he's waiting for a call," Abbiati explained to Milan Channel.

“I hope he gets it with all my heart, because I consider him a very good Coach, he's young and very well-prepared.

“We really liked his ideas, you could see that in the Coppa Italia final, even if it didn't end well.

“What am I doing now? I'm working on my motorbike dealership and trying not to think about football, even if I know it'll be difficult, especially in the coming months."
