Donadoni given vote of confidence

Parma have handed coach Roberto Donadoni a vote of confidence despite the team's failure to win a game since 5 February. The former Italy coach has led the Ducale club to just two victories since taking over from sacked Franco Colomba in January. "Donadoni is doing a good job and we are happy with him," Parma club administrator Pietro Leonardi told Gazzetta dello Sport. "Donadoni is proud to coach Parma and we are delighted to have him. He is the best coach we have had since I joined Parma. Donadoni is the future of Parma." Parma are 17th in the standings, five points clear of the drop zone with nine games remaining. They host Lazio on Saturday.
