Inter seeking revenge for De Boer, claims Ranocchia

After Frank de Boer was sacked as Inter head coach earlier this week, Andrea Ranocchia has encouraged his team-mates to respond positively.

Andrea Ranocchia insists Inter's players are seeking revenge after Frank de Boer was sacked as head coach following a string of poor results.

The Dutchman took charge at the start of the season following Roberto Mancini's sacking, but lost his job after 85 days on Wednesday with his side sitting 12th in Serie A having lost four of their last five league games.

Youth coach Stefano Vecchi will step in to manage Inter's trip to Southampton in the Europa League, and Ranocchia stressed the squad must now stand up and be counted.
