INTER appoint Pioli

Inter have recruited the services of former Lazio head coach Stefano Pioli on an 18-month deal replacing the sacked Frank de Boer following their 1-0 Serie A defeat to Sampdoria with the Dutchman having only won twice in eight matches in all competitions.

Pioli beat Marcelino to the job as both were favourites and he has been given the job of saving the San Siro outfit's season. The 51-year old agreed to a two-year contract at San Siro and will lead Inter for the first time with a tough task of playing in the Milan derby after the international break.

Inter become Pioli’s 11th club, with his previous tenure at Lazio having seen him guide the club to third place in his first season, but his second campaign was not as prosperous and he was sacked in April after a 4-1 defeat to city rivals Roma.

Despite significant investment ahead of the 2016-17 season, Inter have struggled to live up to expectations with only five wins in 12 league matches. Inter are ninth on the standing.

Hopes of a strong European campaign are also hanging in the balance as they sit bottom of Europa League Group K after three defeats in four matches.
