Napoli coach Roberto Donadoni has rubbished claims his job is in danger.

"It would be madness to think that my position was in jeopardy after only three games," Donadoni noted. "I feel liked a caged lion right now and I just want the next game to start."

The atmosphere is tense in the passionate southern port city though after the weekend's latest setback.

"The public obviously have the right to criticise, but I'm not scared of anything," added the former Italian national boss.

"I understand the anger and I accept every consideration of the media until it becomes personal. I am ready to provide answers, I like the possibility to do that."
