The son of Roberto Mancini has slammed Inter Milan's owners.

Mancini left on Sunday to be replaced by Frank de Boer.

“Dad has always been good at Inter, he loves the team, if he didn't he wouldn't have gone back," Filippo Mancini explained to FcInter1908.

“He was used to a different kind of football, with different Presidents, who really held on to their club without ulterior motives.

“With the arrival of Thohir and then the Chinese, things have changed. These people are more accustomed to doing business than dealing with football and I have the feeling that they didn't understand Inter, a club that - until recently - had a power in the world that was second to none.

“Behind this club there's the hand of Kia [Joorabchian] and other advisors and that can't be for the good of Inter.

“Staying there was really bad for dad, he didn't have a point of contact, someone who could really tell him what was going on.

“At the moment the Nerazzurri are not a strong club, a team which they [the owners] live day and night. It's not a priority for them, it's like a toy to play with.

“I've read a lot of comments from fans about the players who arrived at Inter during my father's second spell.

“First of all, I'd say that a lot of these players like [Marcelo] Brozovic, [Ivan] Perisic, Miranda and [Jeison] Murillo have hugely raised the level of the team.

“But it should also be pointed out that some of the players the club signed were the third or even fourth choice of my father, and maybe people don't know that.

“That was the case last year too, it's not true that all the players signed were wanted by Mancini."
