AC Milan patron Silvio Berlusconi is delighted with the work this season of coach Massimiliano Allegri.
The Italy PM has likened Allegri to Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti.
He said: "I liked him from the first moment I met him. As a person he represents the identity and style of Milan well.
"A President like me, who has been in football for a long time, might sometimes have ideas on particular moments in games, but even so you can't expect the Coach to always do what the President wants.
"With Allegri, we talk often and engage in long reflections on the telephone, always finding ourselves in agreement. As a Coach I believe that he could be the fourth in this series after Sacchi, Capello and Ancelotti."
