Udinese coach Kosta Runjaic is under pressure after his side's 5-2 home defeat to Roma, according to football-italia.net. The loss marks their seventh defeat in eight league matches, leaving them in 19th place with five points from 10 games. [1]

Runjaic acknowledged the poor performance, stating that his team should have defended better and that the evening was 'dark' for them. He also explained his decision not to make substitutions at half-time, when Udinese were 4-0 down, saying that it was unlikely to have changed the game's outcome. [1]

The coach's future is uncertain, but he remains calm and focused on working with his team to improve their situation. However, the decision on his future is ultimately not up to him, as he stated in the post-match press conference. [1]
