Inter Coach Walter Mazzarri insists his players are behind him, and shrugged off the words of Massimo Moratti.

The Nerazzurri have endured an indifferent start to the season, and former President Moratti warned that the Coach could be in trouble if results don’t improve.

“Would I have sacked him? Don’t take me as an example, I sacked a Coach two days after winning the league!” Moratti had told reporters earlier this week, referring to his decision to replace Roberto Mancini with Jose Mourinho despite the former winning Serie A in 2008.

Mazzarri however, is not concerned by the words of the now honorary club President.

“I’m focussed on Saint-Etienne,” Mazzarri told his Press conference ahead of Inter’s Europe League clash with the French side.

“I don’t have time to think about or respond to anything else. I have nothing else to say.

“As I have always said since I got here, I want the players at my disposal to give their all and grow.”

The former Napoli boss also addressed criticism levelled at him by Inter fans, some of whom have taken to whistling him in recent weeks. The 53-year-old insisted that the players were behind him.

“The team is with me, even when the result isn’t good.

“If there are whistles directed at me before the game I don’t hear them, because I’m focused.

“I only care about whistles if they affect the motivation of my players, because that won’t help us beat our opponents. Other than that they don’t affect me.

“There will be a time and a place to respond to everything, but right now I have to think about the team.

“A Coach has to wait for the right time, and now is not that time. I just want to devote all my energy to the team, as I’ve always done.

“At the moment everything I say is twisted negatively, we know that. I just lead the team to results, the rest is kept internal and discussed with the club management.

“We have everything clear, and we will do everything in our power to bring joy to the fans.”
