It isn't a very happy Easter at the San Siro.

After his side were held to a 1-1 draw versus bottom-of-the-table Parma on Saturday, Inter Milan manager Roberto Mancini cancelled his players' day off on Easter and scheduled an early-morning training session that was watched by club icon and vice-president Javier Zanetti as well as sporting director Piero Ausilio.

"No rest at Easter?" Ausilio said, according to the Guardian. "The players have rested the day before the match, so it is right that they train. We are working towards the future and these last nine games will help all of us judge and understand who is an Inter player and who isn't."

The embarrassing result left Inter 10 points off the final Europa League berth in Serie A, and it's looking more and more like the Nerazzuri will be confined to league play in 2015-16.

Hilariously, Mancini also took to Twitter to wish a happy Easter to those who aren't members of his squad.
