Torino president Urbano Cairo says they deserve their Europa League chance.

Toro are into the qualifiers after AC Milan's UEFA ban.

“It's very satisfying. I'm sorry for Milan, as I was a fan of theirs when I was a child, but it was a spectacular year for us, our best since I've been President and Torino's best in the era of three points for a win," Cairo told Sky Sport Italia.

“In the last 15 years, no side that amassed 63 points had failed to qualify for Europe before now. Our qualification therefore is deserved and there were some marvellous victories along the way, not to mention an impenetrable defence and Andrea Belotti back to his best.

“It would've been a real shame after that not to enter European competition. Walter Mazzarri gave this side an identity and we now speak every hour practically, let alone every day, to work out our plans and reinforce the squad."
