Former Italy coach Giovanni Trapattoni has defended the work of Walter Mazzarri at Inter Milan.
Mazzarri remains under pressure at Inter after a poor season thus far.
"I believe the Coach is not the problem. Inter, and I can testify to this directly, has always been accustomed to great victories and the fans constantly want to compete with Juventus, Roma and Milan," Trap told FCInternews.it.
"I think Mazzarri has some excuses, because the players are the ones who go on the field and, all in all, it seems to be they have been unlucky.
"I am happy that Erick Thohir has given more time and faith to Mazzarri so that he can fix things. We are only in November and there is time to put the team back on track.
"I don't know if the reports of the next two games being decisive for the Coach are true or not, but overall I note people are judging him too harshly.
"He has the players, so let's give Mazzarri time to work with a united group. I feel I should defend Coaches under pressure."
