New Inter Milan coach Sylvinho is excited about his move to Italy.

The former Barcelona and Manchester City fullback will become Roberto Mancini's No2.

"I'm going to Italy," Sylvinho confirmed to Uol.

"I thought about it for 20 days, day and night and I've decided - along with my family - to accept Inter's proposal.

"I'm glad Inter made the offer, it's a huge opportunity for me, one which will allow me to improve a lot as an assistant Coach.

"Later on, I can start to forge my career as a Coach.

"I'm happy with my time at Corinthians, both were big projects and it wasn't easy to make a decision but I hope I've made the right one."
