AC Milan coach Allegri fed-up with his critics

AC Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri refuses to answer criticism over his tactical decisions.

Allegri remains under fire after a 1-1 Champions League draw with Malaga and inconsistent Serie A results that have left them in 10th place.

"I won't reply anymore to questions on my situation or the transfer market. We got results in my first two years, it was unthinkable to be top this season with so many changes.

"I started this experience with enthusiasm and will keep it going until my contract expires in 2014, trying to get back to challenging for the top spots. We can have a great campaign and are still in the running for every objective.

"We played so many youngsters in the Champions League and it'll take time to win, though obviously our ambition is to do so right away.

"At this moment we haven't resolved our problems and are a long way from the top three. Right now our objective is fourth, fifth or sixth place, then we'll see as we go on what the situation is. We've got to get back on our feet and go through to the Champions League knockouts."
