The brother of sacked Inter Milan coach Frank de Boer has likened his situation to Luis Enrique.

Enrique, before all his success with Barcelona, lasted barely six months in charge of Roma.

“Frank was given very little time to work, but these are things that happen in football," Ronald de Boer told Mundo Deportivo.

“There is no patience to let Coaches work in Italy. Luis Enrique experienced the same thing, as I heard only good things when he was in charge of Roma, but they too had no patience."
