AC Milan's dreadful start to the Serie A season has lead to the vice-president Adriano Galliani giving coach Carlo Ancelotti a vote of confidence after just two games. The Rossoneri slumped to a second successive Serie A defeat, a 2-0 defeat at Genoa, leaving them second-bottom in the table. New signings Ronaldinho and Andriy Shevchenko both only managed a half for the seven-time European champions. Despite the poor results Galliani was adamant the club, whowas not considering a change of coach. "Ancelotti will remain the coach of AC Milan," he said. "I will not say it again and not because I will change my mind about this but rather because it becomes repetitive. The Rossoneri will have little time to rest as they begin their UEFA Cup campaign on Thursday when they host FC Zurich, before welcoming early Serie A leaders Lazio to the San Siro three days later. Despite the setback Ancelotti vowed to continue doing things his way. "To be honest, I am not interested in what is being written," he said. "It is the same situation now as it has been in the past and I feel the club is still very close to me. "Of course I am sorry for what is happening, but I will keep doing it my way." Ancelotti may be able to lay some of the blame for his current predicament with his ageing players, but his city rival Jose Mourinho only has himself to blame for his current bother. The Inter Milan coach, just two games into his Serie A career, has already rattled little Catania who have accused him of showing a "lack of respect" after comments he made following the Milan club's 2-1 victory on Saturday. The Portuguese boss was quoted as saying afterwards his side "deserved to win 5-1". Mourinho also claimed that "had I played in goal in place of [Inter keeper] Julio Cesar, nothing would have changed".. "Someone who says something like that has no respect for his opponents, nor for the coaches or the nation that accommodate him," the Sicilian club's administrator Pietro Lo Monaco said. "Mourinho is one that simply should keep his mouth shut. He could have easily avoided saying what he said. "Mourinho should stop being this chatterbox and should think of his own problems, how much he and his team cost the club. "I hope he wins because if he doesn't, he should take his beautiful suitcase and go back to his own country." Meanwhile, the Juventus striker Amauri has revealed he would jump at the chance to play for Italy under Marcello Lippi. The Brazilian-born player, who gave his side a 1-0 win over Udinese on Sunday, is waiting to be granted Italian citizenship having played his whole career in the country. Amauri said: "If today I had the Italian passport in my hand and Lippi called me up, I would go there without hesitation." * With agencies
