INTER Milan reportedly fired coach Andrea Stramaccioni yesterday, five days after concluding the Italian Serie A with a highly disappointing ninth-place finish.
Stramaccioni was informed of the decision, according to the Gazzetta dello Sport and the ANSA news agency, although Inter did not immediately announce the move.
Walter Mazzarri, who stepped down as Napoli manager last weekend, was already being tapped as the likely replacement.
Having never coached in Serie A before, Stramaccioni was hired in March last year to replace the fired Claudio Ranieri. He led Inter to a sixth-place finish last season but this campaign has been marred by a series of injuries, including serious setbacks for key players Diego Milito and Javier Zanetti, the club's 39-year-old captain.
Stramaccioni's contract was due to expire in 2015. Only 36 when he was hired, Stramaccioni was one of the youngest coaches to manage in Serie A.
Inter lost 2-5 to Udinese in its last match of the season and went winless in its last five games. The Nerazzurri lost as many matches, 16, as it won this campaign.
Meanwhile, Manchester United assistant manager Mike Phelan left the English Premier League champion yesterday as new manager David Moyes prepared to make his own coaching appointments.
Former United player Phelan is departing along with goalkeeping coach Eric Steele ahead of the arrival of Moyes, who takes over from the retired Alex Ferguson on July 1. Phelan was promoted by Ferguson to the role of assistant manager in 2008 having served as first-team coach since 2001.
