Delneri: I´m not going anywhere

Juventus manager Luigi Delneri said he will remain at the post of the Serie A powerhouse, even if they lose to Cesena on Saturday.

The Bianconeri have lost three straight league games and sit 10 points behind fourth-placed Lazio, and another defeat at the hands of the 17th-placed side could spell the end of the 60-year-old’s tenure at the Stadio Olimpico.

But Delneri denied his managerial stint was about to end, regardless of the result, rendering the rumours about his job safety as untrue.

“It does not go through my head one second in terms of resigning,” Delneri said on Friday.

“(Rumours) are part of the game. I spoke with the president (Andrea Agnelli) yesterday and we agreed on what we had previously said over the last few days. There is faith.”

But Delneri added he will not tolerate many more poor performances from his side, as they have left themselves with a tough task of climbing the table into the Champions League places.

“Juventus must try and get over this negative period. It starts against Cesena and there will be a series of ten consecutive games. We cannot make mistakes in any of them,” he said.
