Catania coach Gianluca Atzori has been assured his job is safe this season.
Atzori appeared on his way out only a fortnight ago, but Catania sports chief Pietro Lo Monaco insists he has the board's support.
"We have focused on coach Atzori because we believe in him, surely we have not taken this decision on a whim," said Lo Monaco.
"He will remain on the bench of Catania until the end of the season, whatever the final result. Indeed, I feel I can add that the Catania bench will be led by Atzori next season. This is beyond dispute."
