Massimiliano Allegri will continue as Milan boss after the club hierarchy pondered his dismissal overnight.

Allegri’s job has been on shaky ground following a problematic start to the season and the 3-1 home reverse to Fiorentina on Sunday was their sixth defeat in 12 games.

Allegri was last night called to a meeting with President Silvio Berlusconi and Vice-President Adriano Galliani to discuss the situation.

After talks, it was decided that the former Cagliari boss would not be sacked.

Berlusconi is expected at Milanello on Friday in a bid to help motivate the squad ahead of the tricky trip to Napoli.
