Marco Giampaolo insisted he will not quit AC Milan despite coming under growing pressure following the team's worst start to a campaign in 81 years.
Milan have lost four of their first six Serie A matches under Giampaolo, who was brought in as a replacement for Gennaro Gattuso in June.
The 52-year-old took full responsibility for his side's dismal 3-1 defeat to Fiorentina last weekend - their third loss on the spin - but has refused throw in the towel so early in his tenure.
Reports in Italy claim former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has been lined up as a possible replacement for Giampaolo, though the ex-Sampdoria boss is continuing to stand firm.
"We're working to do better. We were already working at 8 this morning," Giampaolo told Le Iene.
"You say I work a lot but work badly? We'll find the solution. Resigning? Never! Leaving means giving up and we never give up."
Giampaolo has previously admitted to having been a supporter of the Rossoneri's bitter rivals Inter and said two years ago he would like to coach them one day.
Ahead of Saturday's trip to Genoa, however, the Swiss-born Italian explained: "I said I supported Inter until I was 10, but I'm not a Trojan horse.
"We're not budgeting for a bad result against Genoa.
"We're working to eat the panettone. Our objectives are always at the maximum, we always think about doing our best.
"Milan are above individual interests."
