Milan Vice-President Adriano Galliani is now boycotting the Italian press after claiming to be misquoted with regards to Leo's future.

AC Milan are going through a mini-crisis with indifferent performances in the Champions League and Serie A. The results have cast doubt on Leonardo's coaching job.

Galliani was approached by reporters after leaving a meeting of the Lega Calcio but he immediately brushed them.

"I will not speak too much because the newspapers always write the opposite of what I say. I say white and then you write black," Galliani explained.

The Italian media believe Leonardo is close to getting the sack even though Galliani has repeatedly said that he is safe.

There has been reports that Galliani has already contacted Marco Van Basten about the job despite giving Leonardo his personal assurances to the contrary.

Milan have struggled under the Brazilian, winning just four of the 19 games in which he has been at the helm.

Sunday's match against Atalanta is being regarded as decisive in determining his future.
