“?Inter have confirmed the appointment of Frank de Boer as their new manager, replacing Roberto Mancini after the Italian was released by the club on Monday.
Mancini was fired by the club after a humiliating 6-1 defeat to Tottenham in Oslo last Friday, the friendly defeat proving the last straw after long-running issues between manager and board regarding transfers and expectations.
