Funes feels "backed" by club despite results

Málaga manager Funes says he feels supported by the club despite the team sitting bottom of La Liga with no wins in 11 matches.

Juanfran Funes, Málaga's manager, has expressed confidence in his position despite the club's poor start to the season. After 11 matches without a victory, Málaga sit bottom of La Liga, but Funes insists he feels backed by the club and is not worried about his job security.

Ahead of Saturday's match against Racing, Funes said: "I feel totally supported by the club. Results are what matter most and ours need to come. I feel the club's confidence and closeness — we see each other almost daily. I feel their commitment, not just to me but to the coaching staff and players too."

The manager believes the first win will arrive soon and is focused on earning three points against Racing. He acknowledged that while the fans want to see the team play well and win, he remains convinced improvement is possible and that results will follow.
