Rossi accepts he's under pressure at Fiorentina

Fiorentina coach Delio Rossi accepts he's under pressure.

Rossi was drafted in to replace Sinisa Mihajlovic, but has so far failed to revive the Fiorentina fortunes.

"I am not a caretaker. I have a contract for next season too and therefore I am focused only on the present, for which tomorrow's game will be crucial."

The tactician also had a special message for Franco Mancini, the former goalkeeper who died of a heart attack on Friday, aged 43.

"I knew him very well, as he was a goalkeeper in my team. It's a shocking tragedy and we are all close to his family. When faced with some situations, every word is superfluous."
