Inter prepared to axe De Boer

Serie A side Inter Milan are assessing the position of Frank de Boer following a dismal start to the new league campaign.

The Dutch manager took over from Roberto Mancini in August after the side suffered heavy defeats to Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern Munich and Tottenham Hotspur in pre-season.

The Nerazzurri have since produced a mixed bag in the Serie A whilst their form in the Europa League has been disastrous.

Corriere dello Sport says the Nerazzurri are considering the prospect of replacing de Boer with former Roma boss Rudi Garcia being their preferred option.

The Milan giants have had problems on and off the field this season with club-captain Mauro Icardi having made senseless comments over the fans in his autobiography.

An apology has been issued by the Argentine since, but the tensions around the club seem to be reaching greater heights.
