Inter coach feeling the pressure after heavy losses

Inter Milan coach Leonardo has admitted he would have sacked himself had he been the chairman after their last two defeats. Inter were beaten 3-0 in the Milan derby before they were thumped 5-2 by Schalke in the Champions League. A difficult game awaits the Serie A holders on Saturday when they face Chievo but the former AC Milan coach is determined to fight on.

"If I was thinking as an official, then I might have sacked myself too," said Leonardo. "But I don't feel like my job is at risk or under pressure because that is not my way. "I don't fear losing my job and if it happens, it happens. I am here to coach and nothing else." He added: "The defeats against Schalke and Milan were very, very heavy. Now we must find a solution and move forward as soon as possible."
