AC Milan hero Mauro Tassotti insists Rino Gattuso is the right man in charge.

Pressure has eased on Gattuso after victory over Sampdoria on the weekend.

The Rossoneri meet Genoa tonight and Tassotti says: "Milan is in line with its own goals.

"If they win against Genoa they will be perfectly in line with their goals. Gattuso has a great passion, like when he played, and knows how to transmit this to his players.

"He knows how to transmit this, his team plays good football, the life of Rino's coaching career can still be very long, and I wish him many successes because he deserves it for the passion and the heart he puts in it."
