Milan coach Paulo Fonseca has dismissed growing speculation over his future following Sunday's 1-1 draw against Roma.
After the match, reports quickly emerged in the Italian media that Milan would sack Fonseca, who only took charge ahead of the season.
Milan are eighth in Serie A and twelfth in the Champions League.
“Did I have a tough meeting with Zlatan?” Fonseca said when asked if he had spoken to the club's senior advisor and former player Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
“No, I haven't spoken to anyone. I haven't seen anyone from the club. That's all I can say. I can't think of things that didn't happen.”
“Never in my life have I been afraid in football. And so I will continue. For me it is important to always have a clear conscience: I work, I am honest with those who work with me. I am not afraid of whatever.”

Fonseca said he planned to lead Milan in the Supercoppa Italiana semi-finals against Juventus in Riyadh.
“I can expect it, I have no signs to the contrary. Now I will go home, watch the match and think about working,” he added.
He said he had no regrets about the work he had done so far at Milan since arriving in June to replace Stefano Pioli.
Fonseca was sent off during Sunday's match for complaining about the decision not to award Milan a penalty after goalscorer Tijjani Reijnders went down in the Roma box.
“I was exaggerated in my protest at that moment, but I don't want to say anything. It's a very clear situation for me,” Fonseca told DAZN.
