Inter Milan have confirmed that they have sacked Frank de Boer after just 14 games at San Siro.
The Dutchman only arrived at the Italian giants in August but after five wins and seven defeats, the club's owners have decided to part ways with the man who had been chosen to replace Roberto Mancini before the start of the season.
It has also been revealed that youth coach Stefano Vecchi will take temporary charge of the team, starting with the Europa League fixture at Southampton on Thursday night.
De Boer leaves Inter with the club sitting in 15th position in the Serie A standings, while they have only won one of three matches in Europe.
Former Lazio boss Stefano Pioli is currently regarded as the favourite to replace De Boer.
