Sinisa Mihajlovic says Torino need more from Andrea Belotti and that Coaches are divided into two groups – “those that are sacked and those that will be.”
Torino face Atalanta on Saturday, having scored just 18 goals in their opening 14 games, while Vincenzo Montella – Mihajlovic’s Milan successor – was sacked earlier in the week and replaced by Gennaro Gattuso.
“Niang didn’t train, he took a blow that’s stopped him from running well,” the Serb said at a Press conference.

“Niang didn’t train, he took a blow that’s stopped him from running well,” the Serb said at a Press conference.
“We’ll evaluate him in the next few hours. Burdisso? He’s a great professional and he’ll play tomorrow because he allows us to stay high [up the pitch].
“He’s an example for everyone here, the same goes for Moretti. Barreca, on the other hand, isn’t ready yet, but Ansaldi will play for sure.
“Ljajic? He knows he isn’t doing well, but someone like him should always be decisive. Tomorrow he’ll have to make a difference, together with everyone else.
“After that, if he didn’t convince me, he’d be on the bench like everyone else. I wouldn’t have any problems replacing him.
“Technically he’s one of the best around, but he has to show it. Belotti? Unfortunately, we lack his goals, as we do our other strikers.
“A team like ours live on their goals, otherwise things get harder for us. Montella’s sacking? I’m sorry for Vincenzo, he’s a friend.
“But at the same time, I’m happy for Rino, another friend of mine. Unfortunately, it’s part of our profession.
“Trapattoni was right when he said that Coaches are divided into two categories: those that are sacked and those that will be. It happens to everyone.
“Green jersey for Chapecoense? It was a promise by the President, and I consider it a right and proper initiative.”
