Frank de Boer Insists He Failed at Inter Because He Was Forced to Manage a 'Rotten Group'

Frank de Boer has insisted that his unsuccessful stint at Inter in 2016 was due to the 'rotten group' he was forced to manage.

The Dutch coach took charge of the Nerazzurri at the start of 2016/17, but he lasted just three months before he was sacked, having won just five of his 14 games in charge. He went on to manage Crystal Palace the following season, but lasted an even shorter amount of time, losing his job after just five games.

Speaking to Algemeen Dagblad, as per Football Italia, De Boer has spoken about his ill-fated time at Inter, claiming that the club wasn't willing to adapt to his long-term visions and that he was prevented from restructuring the squad at his disposal.
