Inter parts company with Mancini, de Boer in frame

COACH Roberto Mancini said his farewells to the blue and black stripes of Inter Milan yesterday after the club confirmed his exit, amid media reports the Serie A giant’s new Chinese owners wanted fresh blood to rejuvenate the team.

“FC Internazionale Milano confirms that it has parted company with head coach Roberto Mancini by mutual agreement,” the club said in a statement, adding it wanted to “place on the record” its thanks to the Italian coach. Mancini is tipped in the media to be replaced by Dutch coach Frank de Boer. The club’s Chinese owners, the Suning group, had been out for Mancini after Inter lost 1-6 to Tottenham Hotspur in a friendly in Oslo on Thursday, Corriere dello Sport and Gazzetta dello Sport reported. Mancini, 51, had been coach for two years, having previously led Inter to three league titles and two Coppa Italias during his first spell in charge from 2004 to 2008. The former Manchester City manager had been under contract until 2017. He was given severance pay of 2.5 million euros (US$2.8 million), and will take his entire staff with him, Corriere dello Sport said.
