Udinese owner Giampaolo Pozzo has handed coach Andrea Stramaccioni a public vote of confidence.

It's been claimed this weekend's clash with Torino could be make of break for Strama.

"In relation to the press reports of alleged 'ultimatum' from the President to the Coach Andrea Stramaccioni, Giampaolo Pozzo explains that there is no ultimatum," a statement declared on the club's official website.

"I haven't spoken to anyone, and journalistic speculation published does not correspond to my thoughts in any way."
