AC Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri has insisted that he is certain he will remain at the club next season.

It had been reported that the 44-year-old could be dismissed if the club fail to retain the Serie A title this season, but Allegri has dispelled the rumours.

"I will be the coach of Milan next season. I'm 100 percent sure about that. Berlusconi told me again this morning that he's satisfied with my work, and I don't think that he also needs to say it publicly," he told La Gazzetta dello Sport.

Milan are currently second in Serie A.
