Roberto Mancini said he must “take responsibility for this situation” after Inter’s 1-1 draw with Parma.
“I am the Coach and therefore I am the one who must ultimately take responsibility for this situation,” said a disappointed Mancio on Sky Sport Italia.
“Evidently it’s my fault, as I am unable to explain properly to the team what I want from them. They are doing all they can in the circumstances.”

“Evidently it’s my fault, as I am unable to explain properly to the team what I want from them. They are doing all they can in the circumstances.”
However, Mancini did confess he had cancelled their day off, so the squad will be in training on Easter Sunday.
“We had worked well in training, we knew it was an important game and a tough one if we didn’t take the right approach.
“We had scored and started brightly, but were sluggish and didn’t have the determination that is necessary at this level. We lacked grit and aggression.
“The season hadn’t started well, but of course taking over is a risk. It’s Inter and I couldn’t turn them down. I am sorry that the situation has got worse instead of improving, but I am the Coach and I take responsibility.
“We had many players who returned from international duty on Wednesday and Thursday, but we’d been talking about this match for a week, so that’s no excuse.
“There are years when things don’t go right and that’s the case at Inter. Next season? At times you need a revolution to turn the tide.”
Remarkably, Inter are the only team in Serie A this season who have failed to beat Parma, as they lost 2-0 in November.
