AC Milan deny meeting with Guardiola
Nov 7, 2012 8:30:00 AM
The San Siro outfit have refuted rumours that they have already been in contact with the former Barcelona trainer regarding a possible move to the Italian club
AC Milan have insisted that they have not approached Pep Guardiola to replace Massimiliano Allegri as Rossoneri coach.A number of reports earlier this week suggested that CEO Adriano Galliani has met with the former Barcelona trainer and his agent to discuss a potential move, but the 2011 Serie A champions have now acted quickly to deny such rumours.
"AC Milan deny recently released media stories of a meeting between club officials, in particular club CEO Adriano Galliani, and Mr. Guardiola or his agent," a statement on the club's official website reads.
Current coach Allegri's position has come under fire following AC Milan's disappointing start to the 2012-13 campaign, and the San Siro side supposedly see Guardiola as the perfect replacement.
The 41-year-old left Barcelona at the end of the 2011-12 campaign in order to take a one-year sabbatical, and currently lives in New York as he enjoys his break away from the game.
