AC Milan coach Vincenzo Montella insists Leonardo Bonucci remains their captain.

It's been claimed Bonucci offered to give up the armband after being sent off in their draw with Genoa.

“I know that when things aren't going well, these things become bigger," Montella said in his Press conference ahead of the Chievo game.

“Bonucci never said he would give up the armband, these are things which are meant to disturb and they're coming from somewhere."

Milan meet Chievo on Wednesday night.
