Inter Milan striker Mauro Icardi has praised the impact made by Stefano Pioli after he replaced Frank de Boer back in November.
"?
The captain also claimed that the three-month tenure of de Boer was "unbearable", and is thankful to be rid of the Dutchman as manager.
Speaking to "?Gazzetta Dello Sport, Icardi said: "The situation with De Boer had become unbearable. The players who were not used were really unhappy and did not attend with as much desire, even during the celebrations.
"?
"Now with Pioli the air has changed; even those who do not play feel involved in the project and are pleased to be part of the group.
"He changed the mentality of Inter, has restored confidence to everyone, including those who rarely played with De Boer, even if they continue to not play much."
It has been a difficult past few years for Inter, who have gone through a number of managers without enjoying much success on the trophy front since the famous treble scooped under Jose Mourinho in 2010.
"?
They currently lie seventh in the Serie A table, four points adrift of the Champions League slots, but the ambitious Icardi claimed the club can challenge for multiple domestic and European titles.
"?
He added: "I really hope to be able to lift many trophies with Inter. I also hope to do so in less than 10 years.
"When I decided to come to Inter I did so because I wanted to win so much and with this shirt. So yes, I see myself with some league titles and at least one Champions League."

The 24-year-old has banged in the goals for the Nerazzurri this season, hitting 16 goals across 23 appearances in all competitions, and has recently helped his side record five wins in their last seven top flight matches."?
