AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani denies talks with former Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola.

This week, Galliani was twice forced to deny holding discussions with Pere Guardiola, the brother of ex-Barcelona boss Pep, with a view to the latter replacing Allegri at the end of the season.

"If I ever want to speak to Guardiola I will call his agent directly," he said. "But we are happy with Allegri and we will go forward with him.

"If the season had started now, things would have been different.

"We have now taken seven points from three games, having taken the same amount from our first eight games."
