Frank de Boer thanks Inter Milan fans with message following sacking

Frank de Boer has left a message of thanks to Inter Milan’s fans for the support they gave him during his ill-fated spell as the club’s coach.
De Boer was relieved of his duties by Inter on Tuesday after less than three months in the role, during which his side lost seven out of 14 games in all competitions.
The Dutchman wrote a message on Instagram regretting the club’s decision to dismiss him so hastily but thanking supporters for their backing during his time in charge.
“It’s a pity it has ended this way,” De Boer wrote. “More time was needed to carry this project forward. I want to thank all the fans for all of the support that you have given me these months. Forza Inter.”
According to twin brother Ronald de Boer, Frank made a mistake in going to Inter.
“We thought that Inter were really a great club and suited to Frank, but it was an error of judgment,” he told Bureau Sport. “Of course I’m disappointed, as is Frank. He had the will and
motivation to stay, but sadly things went differently. I hoped he would be successful in Italy, but during the last week we could tell this was going to happen.”
Ronald believes Frank, who signed a three-year contract with Inter in August, will be back coaching at another club soon.
“He doesn’t need a break to recharge his batteries,” he said. “But there’s nothing in mind just yet. I’m an optimist. It was a disappointing but educational experience. And like they say, defeats make you better.”
Ronald also said his brother was not placed in the right conditions to be successful, revealing how he was not even consulted over the signing of Gabriel “Gabigol” Barbosa.
“Frank wasn’t able to sort things out, but there were other factors too,” he said. “The team wasn’t ready physically and the squad was big. There were seven or eight players who should have left, but then two others came, including Gabriel Barbosa.
“Frank did not even have a say in his arrival. Gabriel’s arrival was a surprise. Fundamentally, you like to be able to focus only on the football, but then there are other factors linked with business that come into play.”
