Torino coach Walter Mazzarri is delighted with the way he's begun his tenure.

A return of eight points from four Serie A matches have lifted Toro to just three points shy of a potential Europa League qualifying place.

“Whenever I throw myself into a new adventure I look to give my best," Mazzarri told a Press conference. “And I never think about the results. I am happy and proud.

"The numbers show the stats. They have collected more than two points a game.

“That is a Champions League average. When you face a team you can see what kind of run that team is in.

“Tomorrow I want to see whether we can play like how we did against Samp. I've been told that Udinese are third in the form table over the last 10 matches."
