UDINE, Jan 2 (SW) – Udinese have backed under-fire manager Serse Cosmi as speculation suggests the coach could be sacked within the next month.
“Udinese always respect their contracts and the deal we have underwritten with Cosmi is a two-year agreement,” said t director general Pietro Leonardi.
“Our faith in the Coach has never wavered.”
After starting the season so well, Udinese have slumped badly in recent times, finding themselves in 10th position in the Serie A table.
A repeat of last season’s heroic 4th place finish now looks well beyond the Friuli side, and even securing a European place could prove difficult.
