Filippo Inzaghi blasts rumours that Mauro Tassotti could replace him on the Milan bench, but hints he could leave in the summer.

Earlier this week it was reported that Tassotti could replace SuperPippo in the San Siro dugout should the Rossoneri fail to beat Verona, but Inzaghi insists that’s nonsense.

“Results lead to these comments,” Inzaghi admitted in his pre-match Press conference ahead of tomorrow’s game.

“Results lead to these comments,” Inzaghi admitted in his pre-match Press conference ahead of tomorrow’s game.

“Sometimes I’m saddened to read things like those about Tassotti, which are false.

“I wanted him at Milan, we talk often. I’m strong, I don’t care about attacks on me. Even though it’s been corrected, it was nevertheless written.

“Mauro is an extraordinary person, I battled for a month to get him to join me.

“On the technical side of things I accept everything, and I want to prove you all wrong.

“I have to be evaluated for my results. My dream is to give so much to Milan, I feel the affection of the club.

“They’re good, they make me work calmly. Whatever the choice in June, Milan will always be in my heart, but I’d like to stay here for 20 years.

“To be a Coach is a great thing, and I’ll do it for many years. I’m thankful for criticism, it encourages me to do my job better. You can always learn.

“I hope I never get sacked, but all Coaches go through that. I’m convinced I can do well, I’m just thinking about giving the fans and the President [Silvio Berlusconi] some great wins.”

Inzaghi also discussed his side’s struggles, and insists commitment is not an issue.

“I don’t think it’s a matter of desire, the team is behind me and my staff. We probably haven’t played well in some games, but the desire is there.

“They’ve never complained about the work we do at Milanello, everyone has to give something extra.

“We must raise the bar, without blaming anyone, for the good of Milan. We’re well aware that there’s still a long way to go, and if we win two or three games in a row, we’ll be judged differently.”
