Ivan Cordoba: We are all behind Ranieri (29 Feb 2012)
The Colombian defender has lent his support to the under-fire coach and urged the team to get back to winning ways in order to salvage the season
Inter defender Ivan Cordoba has leapt to the defence of Claudio Ranieri, insisting that the beleaguered coach has the backing of the entire squad.
The 60-year-old's job is believed to be under threat after a six-game winless run in Serie A has left the Nerazzurri languishing in
seventh spot, nine points off the Champions League qualification places.
"This is a difficult moment, but we must be united and do our talking on the field," he told La Gazzetta dello Sport.
"We are all with the coach, we are working with him to improve our situation.
"We want to win again, and do it in a way to revive our season to finish the campaign in a completely different way."
Inter president Massimo Moratti seemingly gave Ranieri a vote of confidence on Tuesday, saying he had 'cleared things up' with the coach.
However, fresh speculation suggests that the Inter chief is on the lookout for a new coach already, with Chelsea's Andre Villas-Boas reportedly at the top of his list.
Ranocchia: Inter fully behind Stramaccioni(16 Mar 2013)
The defender has made it clear that the team want their coach to stay put as they are gunning for third spot in the table
Inter defender Andrea Ranocchia has stressed that head coach Andrea Stramaccioni can count on the full support of his players.
The 37-year-old has come under fire in recent weeks following the Nerazzurri's disappointing performances in 2013, but Ranocchia has insisted the team is still behind Stramaccioni.
"The squad are with Stramaccioni just like we've always been. You go through rough patches, that's inevitable, but we're all united and that's how we move forward," Ranocchia told Sky Sport 24.
The centre-back then went on to say that Inter are desperate to finish in the top three and qualify for next year's edition of the Champions League.
"We really must qualify for the Champions League. Third place? There are a number of sides in the hunt, we'll keep fighting until the end. Third position is fundamental for all of us."
The Giuseppe Meazza side currently sit
fifth in Serie A.
