Giovanni Stroppa admitted he was responsible for Venezia’s 3-1 defeat by Atalanta, a result which has increased pressure on the head coach after a poor start to the season.
Venezia have suffered six defeats and have yet to win, with Stroppa facing growing criticism over the team’s performances. The loss to Atalanta has intensified speculation that he could become the first managerial departure in Serie A this season.
“I am responsible for the defeat,” Stroppa said after the match.
The Venezia manager defended the way his players performed but made no attempt to hide his disappointment with the result.
Venezia’s next match is against Napoli, with Stroppa’s position under further scrutiny.
