Corriere dello Sport have detailed exactly what went on yesterday morning before and after Frank de Boer was relieved of his duties as Inter boss: He was the only one not to know that his fate was sealed. And being unaware of what was going to happen, yesterday morning presented himself at Pinetina as usual at 8:30, with two and a half hours earlier than all ‘ exercise began. He went into his dressing room, he changed and began to prepare for the technical meeting scheduled at 10:30 in which he talked about the race tomorrow against Southampton. Frank De Boer was stopped around 10:15 by Ausilio and Gardini who communicated the news that all of Pinetina knew thanks to the newspapers and the Internet: his Inter experience was over. “The results were negative and Suning has decided to change” the way of speech. De Boer did not bat an eyelid: he returned to the dressing room, he put back on his clothes which he had arrived at Appiano in and spoke to the team. Not to tell them how to play against Southampton, but to greet them. With him were all the members of his staff, some with tears in his eyes. “Thank you for what you have done and the effort you have put in. I go out from this experience with my head high, sure I did my best. I wish you the best, but also with another coach in my place, but you must work together otherwise nothing will change.” The Dutchman and his men, before they left, personally greeted some players. The others, those who were excluded due to the data collected during training, basically ignored him.”
