AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani has poured cold water on talk that Marcello Lippi was replace coach Carlo Ancelotti at the end of the season.
He said: "This is with all due respect and friendship for Marcello Lippi, who is a great coach. But he will not be, at least in the near future, the coach of Milan.
"Carlo Ancelotti will be on the bench of Milan next season - 100 per cent. Even if we only qualify for the UEFA Cup."
