Spalletti: Pressure to win at Roma is increasing
The 57-year-old coach has cited the troubles at clubs such as Inter and AC Milan as proof that if you don’t win matches, the pressure can build almost immediately.
“Of course, the risk gets bigger and bigger since us coaches are required to do nothing else but win,” Spalletti told Roma’s official website.
“In my case, if you manage to qualify for the Champions League in Serie A you’ve done your job and you’ve done it well, especially since famous teams like Inter, AC Milan, Fiorentina and Lazio all failed to reach this target.
“When you’re in charge of one of these teams you really have to fight to get into the top spots, so that means the clubs which finish ahead of you have to do really well. Rome did well, so did Napoli and Juventus did fantastically.”
