AC Milan coach Sinisa Mihajlovic said he is open to a Lazio return after his side drew 1-1 against his the club he represented as a player.

Carlos Bacca's first goal in five matches cancelled out an early header by Marco Parolo, with neither side able to find a winner due to the fine form of goalkeepers Federico Marchetti and Gianluigi Donnarumma.

Milan are now 11 points behind Roma, who occupy the third and final Champions League qualification place, with the Rossoneri failing to win any of their last three Serie A matches.

Club president Silvio Berlusconi was at San Siro for the game but Mihajlovic appeared unconcerned about reports he could be set to move on, with some suggesting he is being lined up to take over from Stefano Pioli at Lazio next season.

"The president is not much different to other club patrons. He speaks, evaluates and makes his decision at the end of the season on whether to keep a coach or not," the Serbian told Sky Sport Italia.

"Could I decide to leave? That's an option too, but as I've said many times I have a contract for another year. 

"If we both agree to go forward together, then we will. If one of the two doesn't agree then we'll go our separate ways.

"Lazio? It was one of the happiest spells for my playing career, undoubtedly. Would I like to return? In six, seven or 10 years, why not?"
