Milan: Former Inter Milan boss Roberto Mancini has slammed ‘envious’ Ruud Gullit after the Dutch great suggested the Italian had failed to prepare the club’s players for the start of the season. Mancini was replaced by Frank De Boer, Gullit’s former teammate in the Dutch national side, when he was sacked by the Italian giants on the cusp of the Serie A season. Inter invested heavily in players during the summer but have made a terrible start under De Boer, losing away to Chievo in their league opener and then being held to a 1-1 draw at home by Palermo. Gullit suggested Mancini was to blame, the former AC Milan and Chelsea star claiming the respected Italian had failed to physically prepare Inter for the new season because “he was already thinking of leaving”.
