AC Milan boss Pippo Inzaghi is keen to avoid a row with Hellas Verona rival Andrea Mandorlini.
The two teams meet today.
Inzaghi said: "Andrea Mandorlini said I jumped the queue to become a Coach?
"I think I am merely fortunate to coach a team that I love. I respect Mandorlini and compliment him on his achievements, as this Verona can do even better than last season."
