AC Milan chief Rocco Maiorino has denied reports of Vincenzo Montella's job being in doubt.

It's been claimed Milan president Silvio Berlusconi was blocked from sacking Montella by Sino-Europe.

But Maiorino, before their draw with Lazio, said: "The club is very satisfied.

"It's a shame to tackle such an important match with so many defections."

Asked about Sino-Europe's takeover, he added: "They have things to ask of Fininvest. The direction seems to be, we must wait with the same peace of mind and a willingness to work.

"The future will work out itself."
