Inter Milan coach Andrea Stramaccioni has shrugged off talk of his job being under threat.

Inter are sliding down the standings after their disastrous run of results and Stramaccioni was asked whether he felt the pressure of a potential dismissal, but laughed it off.

"The good and bad thing about being Coach of Inter is that this pressure is on me from the first day I took charge of this great team.

"If a Coach at this level thinks about these things, then he is finished before he even begins. There is a lot of pressure, as we lost 4-1 on Sunday and it's only normal to be criticised, but I think we will do well both tomorrow and in the Derby. We will go forward.

"After all, the club is working on the renewal of the team and this is only the first year of that process."
