Udinese have begun to change their routine around in a bid to get a failing season back on track.

Extended training hours along with a new club doctor are among the changes implemented by president Giampaolo Pozzo who has backed coach Pasquale Marino to stay despite losing seven of their last ten outings.

Training will be every day between 8am and 9pm in the lead up to this weekend's vital clash with Palermo.

Former Chelsea, Valencia and Lazio doctor Bernardino Petrucci has also been hired by the club.
