AC Milan manager Massimiliano Allegri yesterday denied reports that he will join Serie A rival AS Roma at the end of the season.
"These are purely allegations and very disappointing," Allegri told a news conference before Milan's home match against Torino today. "It upsets me to read that I've signed for Roma. I believe myself to be an honest person and respectful towards my place of work. If anything was to happen the first person to know about it would be the president (Silvio Berlusconi) and CEO (Adriano) Galliani.
"I think this discussion is closed, and thankfully it was closed by the clubs before I had to speak."
Milan earlier denied the reports in Milan-based paper Corriere della Serra that Allegri had agreed a three-year contract with Roma after refusing a deal to join Inter Milan. "AC Milan categorically denies what was published today in the pages of the Corriere della Sera regarding its manager Massimiliano Allegri," the club said.
Roma and Inter also denied the report.
"AS Roma categorically denies today's report in Corriere della Sera... which refers to an alleged agreement made with Mr Massimiliano Allegri," Roma said.
Inter said there had been no contact between it and Allegri regarding him taking over from under-fire Andrea Stramaccioni.
Allegri's position with Milan has never been secure despite a strong second half of the season during which it has only lost one game, to leader Juventus, and climbed to third in Serie A.
