Gian Piero Gasperini has expressed his disappointment at being sacked as Inter Milan coach.

The 53-year-old had only been in charge at the San Siro for three competitive matches, the latest of which was a 3-1 loss to newly-promoted Novara last night.

"In the end, the results are the ones that determine everything," Gasperini told the club's official website.

"I am very disappointed. It's a pity that our relationship had to be interrupted."

Gasperini has previously managed Genoa and the Juventus youth team.
