Inter Milan legend Beppe Bergomi has defended coach Stefano Pioli.

Bergomi says the club should stick with the current coach.

"I'd certainly continue to bet on Stefano Pioli," Bergomi, who played 756 times for the Beneamata, told Corriere della Sera.

“It's not his fault if the team has had a physical decline after a summer in which Mancini didn't do a proper pre-season."
