The agent of Ricardo Rodriguez has hit out at Torino coach Davide Nicola.

Nicola has made a big impact at Toro since his appointment, guiding them away from the dropzone. But the revival hasn't included playing Rodriguez.

“We cannot figure out why Ricardo is not used more regularly," agent Haroon Masoodi told 4-4-2.com.

“Perhaps the new coach does not have the experience and therefore cannot fully appreciate Ricardo's qualities, or he doesn't fully understand how to use them within the team.

“Naturally, we expected something very different from this season. That much is clear."
