Marco Amelia admits he's happy to stay with AC Milan under new coach Clarence Seedorf.

The goalkeeper is back in action for Milan and featured in victory at Cagliari.

"With (Massimiliano) Allegri, I will not say that he lacked respect, but in the last three months many things were not going well. He was the coach and I respected his decisions while not sharing them," said Amelia.

"After the injury to Christian Abbiati and the game as a starter against Barcelona I expected different treatment and I told the coach, but it was not to be. That's why I asked to leave.

"Then with Seedorf things have changed because he gave me confidence and showed his appreciation towards me and so I decided to stay.

"Seedorf is a big man with an intelligence out of the norm and he has infused motivations with the right words."
