Stramaccioni resigned to Inter fate Andrea Stramaccioni says he will have no complaints if he is sacked by Inter Milan at the end of the season.
The coach's future is uncertain after a disappointing campaign which has seen Inter drop to ninth in the Serie A table with one match left.
And, speaking ahead of the final league match of the season, Stramaccioni conceded he will not hold it against club president Massimo Morrati if he is dismissed.
"I have to smile, because I don't want to ruin this amusing media circus. (Walter) Mazzarri and (Massimiliano) Allegri will speak after the final game, so why shouldn't I? The president speaks for me and cuts through this bizarre propaganda-like atmosphere.

Valencia, Sociedad notch vital wins The race for the last UEFA Champions League spot goes on in La Liga after Valencia and Real Sociedad both won on Saturday.
A goal from Jeremy Mathieu after 44 minutes proved to be decisive for Valencia in their 1-0 win over Getafe before all eyes turned to the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium.
Unfortunately for Valencia, Sociedad kept the heat on and returned to fourth place on goal difference with a 2-1 victory.
Ivan Rakitic gave the home side the lead after 10 minutes but his outing soon turned sour when he put through his own net six minutes later to level the scores.
Imanol Agirretxe's strike midway through the half handed Sociedad the advantage and the hos

Players should not have to tackle racism Milan boss Massimiliano Allegri has urged Mario Balotelli not to walk off the pitch, even if he is subjected to racism.
The striker has previously stated that he would leave a match if there are any more instances of racist chanting, such as those in the recent Serie A clash between Roma and Milan.
However, Allegri does not feel it should have to come down to players to tackle racism and advised Balotelli not to leave the field of play should it occur again.
"I told Mario Balotelli that I need him to remain onto the pitch and that we need 11 men onto the pitch, because we could have some difficulties with 10," he said.

Lambert wants highest possible league finish Aston Villa boss Paul Lambert wants a win against Wigan on Sunday to finish as high up the table as possible.
Villa are already guaranteed Premier League football next season but Lambert has set his sights on a strong finish to a campaign that had for so long threatened to end in disaster.
A run of just two defeats in six matches - against Chelsea and Manchester United - has led them to the safety of 16th but they could still finish as high as 11th.
"Anyone looking at our football, we never looked like a team that were panicking and launching the ball into the penalty box and hoping for the best," he told the club's official website.

Paris Saint-Germain 3:1 Brest Paris Saint-Germain ended their home league campaign with a convincing 3-1 win over relegated Brest on Saturday.
The French champions struck three first-half goals - two from Zlatan Ibrahimovich and one from Blaise Matuidi - in what could prove to be David Beckham's last appearance in professional football.
Brest pulled one back after 81 minutes but it was only a consolation as PSG's quality saw them comfortably through.
The hosts made a number of changes, with Salvatore Sirigu, Siaka Tiene, Zoumana Camara, Clement Chantome and Kevin Gameiro all coming into the starting line-up, while Beckham was handed the captaincy.
Nicolas Douchez, Alex, Maxwell, Thiago M

Borussia Dortmund 1:2 Hoffenheim Hoffenheim pulled off a miraculous final-day escape from Bundesliga relegation with a 2-1 win over Borussia Dortmund on Sunday.
The visitors came into the game needing to win and hoping that Augsburg or Fortuna Dusseldorf lost their fixtures in order to reach the relegation play-off spot. However, Robert Lewandowski's early goal seemed to put paid to that dream.
However, their chances of survival then received a huge boost late in the second half when Sejad Salihovic emphatically dispatched a penalty after Kevin Volland had been tripped. And the Bosnian repeated the trick not long after as Roman Weidenfeller was dismissed for needlessly bringing Sven Schipplock down.
