Inter Milan coach Andrea Stramaccioni says his relationship with president Massimo Moratti is getting stronger.

Stramaccioni admits they knew little of eachother when he first took charge.

He said: "I'd be lying if I said it was there from the very start. Certainly the president appreciated me on a technical level, he followed the Primavera and liked the way I had the team playing and managed the group. Then we got to know each other for the first time in that meeting which lasted two hours.

"We chatted about football and I realised something that I honestly didn't know before - that the president was talking football, that he knew what he was talking about and had his own football ideas. That was the start of a fantastic relationship, a very open relationship, that has grown day by day. It's a very frank relationship."
