Sampdoria chief Beppe Marotta insists coach Walter Mazzarri's job is safe - despite the midweek home humiliation by AC Milan.
Samp fans are furious and Thursday's training was invaded by over 20 angry supporters, but Marotta insists Mazzarri's future is not in question.
He said: "There's nothing in this talk. The team must stay calm and focused, the coach is not in doubt."
