Genoa coach Ivan Juric admits he fears for his job after defeat to Sampdoria.

Genoa lost 2-0 on Saturday and are now inside the bottom three.

"The situation was in the air, I haven't received any call, but I do want to say the lads put in a performance of great heart, determination and commitment," said Juric.

“I don't know what will happen now, as the possibility of dismissal was in the air, but the team is growing and I cannot complain about their attitude. Sometimes football is ruthless, it can turn against you, but this team has quality and is full of great guys. I accept whatever comes next.

“I realise the results are not good, but I will not criticise my lads for their performances, their attitude or even their training sessions.

“Will Genoa stay in Serie A? Certainly! With Juric on the bench? I don't know, you'd have to ask the club."
