Newly-promoted to Italy's top division, Torino are without a win in their five matches played having drawn twice and been beaten three times.

Zaccheroni came under fire from the Torino fans following last Saturday's crushing 4-0 home defeat to Lazio, but Cairo insists his coach is staying put.

"Zaccheroni's position is not at risk," Cairo said. "He has all my confidence.

"There have been many changes with lots of new players coming in, and they need time to settle. All that is needed is a little patience."

Zaccheroni was hired just three days before the new campaign to replace Gianni De Biasi, who had a falling-out with Cairo over the club's future.

Zaccheroni was coach of AC Milan when they won the league title in the 1998-99 season. He has also been in charge of Udinese, Lazio and Inter Milan.
