AC Milan president Paolo Scaroni has rejected doubts for coach Stefano Pioli.

Scaroni insists Pioli is currently not in doubt.

He said: "We are very happy to have him on the bench. Furthermore, we are also doing well so it is an inappropriate question."

On facing Rennes tonight in the Europa League, Scaroni also stated: "I'm anxious as always, but what do we want to do? But we're playing well, we're winning, so I have a level of optimism.

"It's very important. We've never won the UEFA Cup among other things. Then there are teams, like Liverpool. It won't be an easy path but it's very important for us, and Pioli also confirmed it yesterday."
