Inter Milan chief Piero Ausilio says they're delighted with the work of coach Luciano Spalletti.

Ausilio spoke before their 0-0 draw with Napoli.

He stated: “We want to keep staying up at the top of the table and the lads – along with their Coach – deserve the credit for the season so far.

“This is the most difficult match, as we're up against the best team in Italy right now, as confirmed by the statistics. Spalletti has a long history behind him, so I am not surprised by his achievements and how focused he is on every little detail, whether it's training, food or a spiritual side of the players.

“With a Coach like that, everyone is more motivated and ready to give the best of themselves. He brings the best out of people.

“People always ask about the transfer market, but we'd rather focus on the lads here tonight and make the best out of this project and this team. We'll see in January if there is anything that needs doing."
