Corriere dello Sport have examined what has turned out to be a difficult start to life as chief executive at Inter for Giuseppe ‘Beppe’ Marotta.

The much respected Marotta has had to deal with more than one problem in his 45 days at the club so far from the multiple controversies involving Radja Nainggolan off the field to Mauro Icardi and his contract negotiations and now Ivan Perisic wanting to leave the club.

There was then of course all the problems brought about by the racist abuse that a portion of Inter’s support subjected Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly to.

Results on the pitch have left a lot to be desired too. Inter crashed out the Champions League with a disappointing performance in a must-win game against PSV Eindhoven in the final group stage game. The past two league results have also raised questions about Luciano Spalletti’s future as manager of the club.
