Inter Milan confirm sacking of head coach Roberto Mancini

Inter Milan have confirmed that head coach Roberto Mancini has left the club after a two-year spell in charge.

The former Manchester City boss, who previously coached Inter for four years between 2004 and 2008, failed to guide the team to silverware during his second spell at San Siro.

Reports have emerged claiming that there has been tension within the club ever since Suning Commerce Group bought the club in June.

In addition to that, the team have been beaten by Paris Saint-Germain, Tottenham Hotspur and Bayern Munich in pre-season friendlies.

A statement from Inter read: "Internazionale Milano confirms that it has parted company with head coach Roberto Mancini by mutual agreement. Inter would like to place on record its thanks to Roberto for the work carried out with the team since joining in November 2014.

"Last season the club led Serie A until the Christmas break, ending the season in fourth place and qualifying for the UEFA Europa League. We thank Roberto for the work and commitment he has shown the club over the past 20 months."

It has been widely reported that former Ajax boss Frank de Boer will be appointed as Mancini's successor.
