Frosinone coach Di Francesco on Napoli shock: We pulled off Coppa coup!

Frosinone coach Eusebio di Francesco hailed his players after their stunning Coppa Italia win at Napoli.

Napoli collapsed 4-0 at the Maradona on Tuesday night.

There was a lot of hard work to get this coup and the lads maintained our tactical principles, showed sacrifice and put in a great performance despite some sacrificing themselves out of position," Di Francesco told Mediaset.

“They are determined to show what they can do, help each other out and follow my instructions. The credit also goes to the President who keeps this club stable and allows us to work without concerns. Our fans are always splendid, so everyone deserves this moment."

On his time in charge of Frosinone, he also said: “I made some bad decisions, I was also not patient or focused enough in some situations, but we always tend to remember the last five minutes. I went through bad periods, I looked within myself and now that I have become a grandfather, I think about them when I am struggling.

“They are the best medicine to remember sport is about enjoyment, passion and hard work. Those are the lessons I took with me to Frosinone."
