AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani has dismissed reports that Filippo Inzaghi's future at the club hinges on whether he can secure European qualification this season.
Inconsistent form has seen Milan struggle to keep pace with their rivals in the battle for a spot in Europe, but Inzaghi, whose side are currently eighth in Serie A, has been assured that his job is safe by president Silvio Berlusconi.
"The president called Inzaghi and myself after he read the reports," Galliani told reporters.
"What was written was the opposite of what he thinks. He said that Pippo will get experience, none of us has ever said that he won't stay.
"Inzaghi has a contract for next year, and there are no ultimatums. There are 17 games left, we'll try do well, I still don't understand this team."
Milan take on leaders Juventus on Saturday evening.
