Bologna coach Sinisa Mihajlovic insists he can keep the club up.

"We are stronger than we were before because these days of discussion have galvanised my squad," Mihajlovic told the club's website.

"I am convinced that we will get the 13 points we need for survival, starting with getting a result against Roma in the first match after the international break.

"The truth is that if Bologna don't avoid relegation then I will know that it is my fault."
