Frank De Boer has hit out at Inter Milan players over his sacking last season.

De Boer only lasted three months in the job after replacing Roberto Mancini.

“I had more complications in Italy and it wasn't just because of the language, but also the way of transmitting my messages and my ideas," De Boer told Ziggo Sport.

“Our way of thinking is much more similar to England, whereas at Inter it was all based on sentiment. They formed a block of seven or eight players and the rest try to knock them out.

“It was a bit chaotic, everyone did what they wanted. When I tried to make Inter play position-based football, well… I'd never seen anything like it. Youth team players at Ajax did it better.

“I didn't expect that to happen. Even in training, they gave up on the routines very early and didn't see the point of them."
