Castori accepts tough Carpi relegation

Carpi coach Fabrizio Castori says he has no regrets about the manner in which his side were relegated from Serie A this season.

Carpi defeated Udinese 2-1 on Sunday but it was not enough to keep them in Italy's top-flight following Palermo's 3-2 win at home to Hellas Verona.

"We have thought about our game. We wanted to win to have no regrets. We took this league head-on," he said.

"We are a genuine team who have done something extraordinary from January onwards.

"After we got back on track the team went back to the form that had won the Serie B."

"We must also accept the defeats in football, even when they are not deserved," he said.

"I'm sorry because we could save ourselves without the early-season revolution, I said it before and I repeat now.

"We won ​​28 points in the second round, which is Europa League form."
