Inter, De Boer: "First contacts two weeks ago. Icardi? I want him to stay here"

Everything has happened very quickly, the arrival in Milan yesterday and the press conference today. Frank De Boer was presented as the official Inter manager today: "I would like to thank Inter for contacting me, me the management and the president speak the same language. We want to win. The first contact with Inter? Two weeks ago, obviously with my agent and it was to see if I was open to coaching the club. Then once everythign kickstarted I was very intent in managing Inter. We spoke and I became the new manager. Milan? they never asked for me, I deny this. Icardi? He's an important player and I want him to stay with us. I don't need strikers I have Icardi and a few others. Gabigol? He's very talented and a lot of clubs are interested in him. I have to thank Mancini, I wish him the best, He did a fantastic job here. His history at the club is well known". Interisti are very demanding but De Boer responds in a very tough manner: "Have you ever been at Amsterdam Arena? It's the same over there too, I'm used to this kind of pressure". On the Chinese take overs of Inter and Milan, De Boer says: "It's a great opportunity for Inter, Italian football and European football in general". @EddieBenedetti
