Italy coach Cesare Prandelli has been impressed by new Inter Milan boss Andrea Stramaccioni.

The rookie has taken four points from his first two games in charge of Inter.

"I complimented Stramaccioni [when meeting him] because it hasn't changed the way he is," Prandelli told Inter's official website on Monday.

"He transmits enthusiasm and confidence precisely because he has remained himself. I really had to give him my most sincere congratulations.

"Apart from the weather... [the atmosphere here is] a fine one, with a lot of enthusiasm from the players.

"This is what should always be present with a football team and it's what I've seen here today."
