AC Milan chief exec Giorgio Furlani says coach Stefano Pioli has their full confidence.

Furlani has rejected rumours of meeting with Antonio Conte.

He said: "The rumours about the Milan bench in February bother me too. Pioli is our coach, the club is with him. As Ibrahimovic said, the rumours about Conte annoy and bore us. Pioli is our coach, we're lucky to have him and we are grateful for what he has achieved."

On Olivier Giroud's deal expiring, Furlani added: “Olivier is a great champion.

"He came with a two-year contract which did him so well that we decided to continue and this year he is doing even better."
