Frank de Boer Excited as Inter Milan Prepare to Kick Off Serie A Campaign at Chievo

Published on: 20 August 2016

"?Inter Milan boss Frank de Boer is keen to get his debut season at the San Siro underway sensing his side are ready, despite only joining the club ten days ago.


"?Quoted on the club's official website, De Boer is excited about the prospect of taking to the touchline for the Nerrazzuri for the first time when his side travel to Chievo on Sunday.


With a limited time in charge of the club, De Boer has been working hard to ensure his players are aware of the playing style he is keen to instil in Italy, a method that was so successful for the Dutchman during his time in charge of Ajax.

De Boer has conceded that more time in charge of the Italian side would have been preferential, but will not let it affect his side's charge for Champions League football, having narrowly missed out last season.


"We've only had one friendly game to acquire information about the team and get to know the players personally but i'm confident they're ready for the first game and I'm looking forward to it.


"Of course it would have been better to have more time to prepare physically and also technically," he added.


Having replaced Roberto Mancini at the helm, De Boer is keen to see signs of his tactics in Sunday's clash with Chievo.


"In the last week and a half I've seen the players are eager to improve physically and learn the tactics we want to employ and hopefully we'll be able to see some of that tomorrow (Sunday)."


However, the Dutch manager remains excited about finally getting down to business, setting his sights on Inter's first Serie A title since 2010.


"I'm very enthusiastic that we're finally starting and that there's something a stake now."


"We want to try and win every game, then at the end of the season we'll see where we are. Of course I want to win the league," he went on to add.
