Andrea Mandorlini hinted he could’ve been fired if Verona had not held Roma to a 1-1 draw today.
“It really is a good Sunday at last!” he smiled on Sky Sport Italia, having lost six of the previous seven games.
“I thought our attitude was excellent, we created plenty of scoring opportunities. Neither side was in a good period of form, so this was hard-fought and could be decided at any moment by an individual moment of skill.

“This point means a lot to us. Lately we struggled to find points for many different reasons, but all that counts is the present and future. This was a good performance.
“Could I have been fired if we had lost today? There are always going to be rumours and there were about Inzaghi at Milan too. I was having a bad time, as we were conceding so many goals recently and they affected our confidence.
“Was I at risk? I don’t think so, as I have a good rapport with the club, but I can’t possibly know what would’ve happened if we had lost.
“This was Jankovic’s first game after three months, Gomez came back last week and it showed he was not entirely sharp.
“These players have been with me for many years and know the kind of game they needed to play.”
