Inter Milan chief Piero Ausilio says they only removed coach Walter Mazzarri when it became obvious that Roberto Mancini was available.
Mancini enjoyed a point for his return with their 1-1 draw against AC Milan.
"When there is a change, the first thing we expect is enthusiasm," Ausilio told Sky Sport Italia.
"Mancini already knows the environment here, appreciates the squad and if he accepted then it means he is convinced he can do well.
"We could've continued with Mazzarri and I repeat we are in favour of consistency, but the opportunity to reach Mancini presented itself and we are happy to have him with us."
