Parma chief Leonardi defends underfire Donadoni

Parma chief Pietro Leonardi has defended coach Roberto Donadoni.

Parma are bottom of the table going into tonight's game with Torino.

Leonardi said: "We must remember that Donadoni took us into Europe and set some important records. It's simplistic to suggest it is all Donadoni's fault: it is everyone's fault.

"If we really did think to give him two games to turn things around and put the squad on edge, then I say it would've been better to take action today. Therefore, as Donadoni is here, it means Parma have the utmost faith in Donadoni."
