After the official press release, in which it was announced that the role as technical guide of Inter had been given to Roberto Mancini, Erick Thohir revealed his thoughts of this historic choice for the club to Sky. Here are the words of the tycoon: “After lengthy telephone conversations with directors and with Moratti, we all decided together to make this change, focusing on what we consider the best man, the best coach there is in Italy, even though I have appreciated Mazzarri a lot and I thank him. It all really happened in one day and one night and I never thought any other name except that of Mancini. Mancini already knows Inter well and was chosen for the sake of Inter. There was need of fresh air, a different atmosphere and to take the pressure off. Mancini has accepted the project with enthusiasm and is aware of the economic situation of the company, but as far as possible we will try to strengthen the team according to his instructions as early as January. I ask the fans to support the players and coach and to respect the work, but also to play together, we and them as one big team. San Siro has to be our home. You can not play at the San Siro as if we were away.”
