Collingwood won’t be panicked into sacking coach Nathan Buckley after a poor start to the season, according to club president Eddie McGuire.

Pressure is mounting on club great Buckley after Tuesday’s Anzac Day loss to Essendon left the Magpies with a 1-4 record to sit 13th on the AFL ladder.

“There is no better person to have our club’s future in his hands than Nathan Buckley,” McGuire told Triple M Melbourne.
