Udinese sporting director Cristiano Giaretta is delighted with the impact of new coach Andrea Stramaccioni.
The former Inter Milan coach took charge over the summer following Francesco Guidolin's retirement.
"We really like Stramaccioni because he has ideas, a personality and is a great influence, as is his assistant [Dejan] Stankovic. The lads follow his lead and we are happy," Giaretta has told Radio CRC.
"Stramaccioni still has much to learn about the squad, so we must be patient in return. At the beginning of the season, it's always difficult."
