Inter’s legendary former goalkeeper Walter Zenga was interviewed by Premium Sport where he spoke about what went wrong under De Boer.

“One of the mistakes De Boer made was that he didn’t consider taking on an Italian coach to collaborate with him, and I remember that this was the first thing I reflected on back then. Against Chievo he played a 3-man defence, not being aware of the opposition’s tactical characteristics. Inter played well in the first match against Roma. Pioli has done a lot of things well, although he could hardly have done worse.”
