Massimiliano Allegri tried to reassure his squad after Milan’s defeat to Malaga. “Will I stay on the bench? You’d have to ask the club.”

According to Football Italia, the Rossoneri were beaten 1-0 in Spain last evening, meaning they have lost six of their total 11 competitive matches this season.

“The first half didn’t go badly, but after the break we struggled as we couldn’t emerge from our own half due to their possession and us giving the ball away cheaply,” he told Mediaset.

“We had some good chances in the first half, wasting the final ball and making the wrong decisions. Despite not allowing Malaga that much, we still conceded a goal.

“I haven’t spoken to anyone after the game, but the President called me today. We all know we are in a difficult moment, I am the first to realise that, but I also say this team will recover due to the efforts they are putting in.

“We’re still in second place in the Champions League group and must now focus on Genoa, who have changed Coach and brought in Gigi Del Neri.”
