AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani insists coach Massimiliano Allegri's job is safe. The Rossoneri fell to a second consecutive defeat this afternoon, losing 2-1 to Udinese with two players sent off.

"We played better than Udinese," insisted Vice-President Galliani on Milan Channel.

"The team is showing signs of improvement and now we await the first home win on Wednesday against Cagliari.

"Allegri is not up for debate. We are going forward with this Coach, as he has the total faith of the President and me.

"Don't forget he has earned 162 points in two years and that is not to be sniffed at. The team worked hard today even with nine men and proved how much they care for the Coach. So do we.

"For the past year luck seems to be against us, but it's early days and we are only in Week 4."
