Inter Milan hero Berti slams management over Moratti exit

Inter Milan hero Nicola Berti has hit out at the club's management.

Berti is angry over Massimo Moratti's split from the club.

"Nobody really knows what the relationship between Moratti and Thohir is, so we can only judge from what we can see. And I am pretty sure that everybody in turn could have avoided doing something.

"First it was Bolingbroke - we didn't need him to tell us that Inter was financially struggling. We knew that they were paying for mistakes previously made, but Moratti himself had admitted this.

"But one thing is to know something, and another is laying your cards on the table in that way. Then obviously there was no need from Moratti to be angry with Mazzarri. I don't understand why.

"You can like or dislike Mazzarri, and I am sure that he hasn't achieved the results everybody hoped so far. But there was no need to de-legitimise him in that way because Thohir can't do anything but protect his manager who is struggling at the moment.

"What should he have done? Fire him? The majority of fans don't like Mazzarri, so there was no need to attack him like that.

"In that way Moratti just weakened Mazzarri's position even more. But I must say that also Mazzarri was wrong because he should have bitten his tongue.

"Moratti is a President that in almost 20 years has won a lot and spent even more - whatever he said, albeit wrong, it was better not to answer for Inter's sake."
