Former Inter Milan defender Ivan Cordoba believes his old club will need patience from fans after a summer of upheaval.

Inter have replaced title winning coach Antonio Conte with Simone Inzaghi and also have sold Achraf Hakimi to PSG.

“If there are doubts about the new coach, it is because it is one thing to follow a project started with Conte, who had the whole situation in hand, and one thing is to start over from a different coach, with different ideas and a different way of working," former Colombia international Cordoba told EFE.

“I think with a little patience, things will go well.

“There is talk that they want to sell Lautaro [Martinez]. It is a difficult situation, after they have fought so hard to win something and then the coach changes because they did not want to stay. The economic conditions do not support the idea of wanting to continue to be the favourites to win."
