Giampaolo: ‘Why Torino didn’t sack me’

Torino coach Marco Giampaolo insists he’s never doubted Armando Izzo’s qualities and reveals why he was not sacked despite sitting at the bottom of the table before today’s 3-0 win at Parma.

The Granata pulled off a crucial 3-0 away win at Parma moving just above the relegation zone.

“We’ve overcame some difficulties, we could have handled the winning position in a better way, but we closed the game in the final minutes,” Giampaolo told Sky Sport.

Armando Izzo scored his second goal in a row.

“I’ve never doubted the qualities of single footballers. The guys are committed, Izzo scored a great goal. I can recognise the players’ attitude. We must be coherent and follow the players’ qualities.

“I talk to [Davide] Vagnati and the President every day. I’ve always felt trusted, I never had the feeling they didn’t have confidence in what I was doing. Maybe they noticed the players are attached to my principles, otherwise they would have replaced me.”
