AC Milan coach Pippo Inzaghi has made a public plea to president Silvio Berlusconi about keeping his job.

Inzaghi is aware of rumours linking Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti with his job.

"I did hear that, but nothing has been told to me other than to continue my work. I want to give a sense of consistency to the latest performances.

"If I'm given the chance to continue at Milan, then great, otherwise I will continue this profession elsewhere.

"I think for a Coach the most important thing is to have the players on your side. There have been more important and prestigious Coaches than me who struggled here. I can only hope and say that this is a fantastic profession.

"After the defeat to Udinese, where we were really just not there, the side reacted well and gave a strong response by working all together.

"We cannot think that one or two star names can change everything. We have to work as a team. It's a shame the season is ending now, just as we were finding that unity.

"What can you say about Carlo Ancelotti? I talk to him regularly and he made history for Milan. If there is talk of replacing Ancelotti at Real Madrid after he won the Champions League, then obviously there will be talk of me getting replaced!

"I just hope that I can stay on because I have a lot more to give and these club colours are inside my heart."
