One time Serie A leader Udinese is definitely in crisis after losing again on Sunday, this time 3-0 away to Atalanta. Udinese have now lost five Serie A matches in a row, placing great pressure on the tenure of coach Pasquale Marino.
Speaking after the match, Marino said: "I cannot deny we are in crisis and are not as tenacious as we once were.
Five consecutive defeats certainly cannot be considered a good moment. We've got to leave the fancy football aside and focus on substance right now.
It's a shame, as we have thrown away all we worked for in the space of a month."
