After stripping Claudio Ranieri from his managerial duties at the San Siro, the Inter Milan President appointed their Primavera
youth team coach in his place.
After heavily denying any plans of dismissing the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 head coach, Moratti’s patience finally gave in after Ranieri was unable to lead
the Beneamata to a victory against the Scudetto contenders, Juventus.
Ranieri had a bright start to his Inter managerial career, after winning seven matches on the trot. However, after http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567’s last match in January,
his team’s result went south, and they could only pick up a solitary win in their last ten matches.
The Nerazzurri have fallen way behind the third place of the Serie A, and currently occupy the eighth position. They also crashed out of the UEFA
Champions League last 16, and it was the first time in four years that Inter failed to qualify for the quarter finals of the Champions League.
There was immense pressure on the Inter board to make a change in management and after their loss to the Bianconeri, they decided to part ways
with the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Valencia-c40863 boss.
Stramaccioni has been hailed in the media as the Andre Villas-Boas of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/U-17-Youth-team-c40787
head-coach, as Andre Villas-Boas has been strongly linked with the full time http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684 at the San Siro outfit.
The newly appointed Nerazzurri head coach was giving his first press conference, and he suggested in the interview he had with Moratti, and stated:
“When I left the meeting with the President, I noted that I was myself all the way through and expressed my ideas. If
Moratti, who wrote European football history, decided to give me this chance then it’s because of what he saw me do in the last six months.”
When quizzed over the possible comparisons to the high profile Jose Mourinho, Stramaccioni conceded:
“I do not run this risk at all. Right now I feel light years away from one of the best Coaches in the world. I am the last one to arrive and have
my ideas. In my humility, I also go on to the field only to teach what I know.
Mourinho will remain a legend for Inter, but what he did here doesn’t matter when it comes to what I will do.”
The 36-year-old would be expected to salvage some respect from their abysmal campaign.
