Silvio Berlusconi admits to Zlatan Ibrahimovic 'regret' but says sales were a must

AC Milan president Silvio Berlusconi has admitted there is 'regret' over Zlatan Ibrahimovic but says summer sales made economic sense.

Tradition

Berlusconi is adamant that snap judgements will not be made during 'an unfortunate period', with under-fire coach Massimiliano Allegri once again offered the full backing of the Milan board. After visiting the club's training base on Friday, Berlusconi added: "I'm not here to scream at the squad because that is not what they need. "We start again from today, I want to get close to Milan again and get back what I had lost over these years. "If Allegri is here then it is because I have faith in him. This is an unfortunate period, but let us not forget what he has won. "Milan have a precise tradition. In 26 years, we've changed the coach during the course of a season on only two occasions. We are serious people, we have a good relationship with the tactician."
