Stellini added: "I feel very honoured and feel I am in the right position to do this. I want to do this with all the staff, with Ryan that is very important for me and the club and it was important when we were in charge when Antonio wasn’t here.

"We feel we can do what we did before, we want to improve, and this is a moment to take responsibility and to improve, all together. We have to continue the job. If we are here, it is because we did a good job.

"And if we are here is because we have to make this decision and make this real because we will work well in that moment. The Players, us and everyone in the club has to do something more to help the club to help the Players, to help the team because we need a team and we want to show to everyone that we are a team again."
