Carpi coach Fabrizio Castori insists they won't be intimidated in Serie A next season.

It will be the club's first campaign in the top-flight.

"We are very proud to have set a new record in Serie B for the number of goals conceded," Castori told Sky Sport Italia.

"Serie A will be a whole new world to us, but we are not afraid. We will face up to the next season with a pinch of free spirit."
