Luciano Spalletti takes charge of Inter Milan


Former Roma boss Luciano Spalletti has accepted the challenge of restoring Inter Milan's fortunes after agreeing a two-year contract as Nerazzurri head coach.

The 58-year-old guided Roma to second place in Serie A with an impressive 87-point haul last season but off-field issues hastened his exit from the Stadio Olimpico last month.

Inter, who finished a poor seventh in 2016-17, have chosen Spalletti to lead a renewed charge at the European places after a underwhelming campaign under Frank de Boer and then Stefano Pioli.

A statement published on the Milan club's official website on Friday afternoon said Certaldo-born tactician Spalletti would be unveiled on Wednesday before taking training for the first time on July 3.
