Inter Milan director Piero Ausilio insists coach Walter Mazzarri was not under threat going into their 2-2 draw with Napoli.

There had been reports Inter would fire Mazzarri if he lost a third consecutive Serie A match.

"In Italy we are accustomed to this type of situation, but we have a club and a President that are solid and the team showed with this performance whose side they are on," said Ausilio.

"We are united and can continue from here."
