Claudio Ranieri: Inter & Massimo Moratti are behind me
The Italian coach does not believe that his job is on the line after the disappointing weekend defeat and went as far as to state that the board fully supports him

Inter coach Claudio Ranieri has guaranteed that he has the full backing of the club's board.
Ranieri's place is under threat after Sunday's shock 1-0 defeat to Novara in Serie A at San Siro, which could leave the club 15 points off the top in case Juventus win the two matches they have in hand.
"The club and [president Massimo] Moratti are behind me 100 per cent," he told RAI Sport. "We have an excellent communication and I completely feel their support.
"We tried to score during the game in a thousand different ways. We had to change our tactics during the game and put three men in midfield, instead of four, which is very different."
Fabio Capello's resignation as England manager has sparked suggestions that the 65-year-old could replace Ranieri on Inter's bench.
However, Moratti was quick to pour cold water on the speculation, insisting the club were not interested in switching coaches again.
Ranieri arrived at Inter in September, taking over from Gian Piero Gasperini, who was sacked after a series of disappointing results.
