After initially joking with Perin over his outfit, with help from Giorgio Chiellini, the goalkeeper asked if everything was alright for Spalletti.

The coach shook his head from side to side and replied cryptically: “That depends on you.”

Perin acknowledged the team knew full well that the onus was on them to turn things around, having already won under caretaker manager Massimo Brambilla after Igor Tudor’s dismissal.

“We are at your disposal,” assured Perin.

“Well that’s already something,” replied Spalletti.
