De Boer and Inter need each other more than ever

The Dutch coach won four Eredivisie titles with Ajax, but after two disastrous years, he must approach his new job with new ideas as the Nerazzurri look to challenge for titles.

The former Netherlands player had just become the first trainer to win a fourth successive Eredivisie title with Ajax, and his stock was high, while the Italian side was in decline. But after two disastrous final years with the Dutch giant, the 46-year-old and his new side meet with a similar goal – restoring damaged reputations and proving doubters wrong.
