Montella insists there is 'harmony' with Bacca

After a tumultuous week, the AC Milan coach praised the match-winner's display after his goal claimed a win over Sampdoria and denied any fallout between the pair.

Vincenzo Montella insists his relationship with Carlos Bacca is "under control and in harmony" after the striker fired AC Milan to a late 1-0 win at Sampdoria on Friday.

Reports in the media this week suggested that head coach Montella was involved in a training ground bust-up with his star, who was dropped to the bench at Stadio Luigi Ferraris.

However, Bacca was introduced as a second-half substitute and put himself back in Montella's good books by prodding home a late winner for Milan's second Serie A win of the campaign.
