AC Milan youth coach Filippo Inzaghi will take charge of the club's youth team in his first competitive match as manager on Sunday.

The 39-year-old, who pits his team against Bologna, has insisted that he is "calm" about the new experience.

"I am calm and peaceful about this new experience. I've worked with these guys for three weeks," Inzaghi told Sky Sport Italia.

"I hope they play a good match. I [have prepared for] this by studying the opponents and picking the team that I thought was most useful.

"Hopefully I've sent these guys my passion. I am clearly at the beginning of this career as a manager, but I think I've already been able to give these kids tips on diet, and on the rules an athlete must follow in order to remain the best."

Inzaghi scored 25 goals in 57 games for Italy.
