After taking from Andrea Stramaccioni in the summer, new Inter Milan manager Walter Mazzarri has said that he is so far happy with what he has seen from his team in the pre-season matches.

Andrea Stramaccioni lost his job after the club finished ninth in the Italian Serie A in what turned out to be one of the most disappointing seasons for the club in the last few decades. Mazzarri has been given the task of revitalising the club, which won the Champions League only a few years ago. Immediately after taking over, Mazzarri said that he did not want to increase the expectations straight away.

Hence, he is looking to do a better job and does not want to place any targets. After seeing his team performing the last few matches in the pre-season, Mazzarri has said that he is happy with the players at his disposal. Inter Milan have made some changes to the squad by bringing in the likes of Ishak Belfodil and Mauro Icardi from Parma and Sampdoria respectively. They will provide some much needed strength to the attack, which is expected to miss Diego Milito for the first couple of months.

The former Genoa striker is the main striker at the club, but his place is now under threat.

"I want a team that people enjoy watching, with a soul, that never gives up. And I can promise you that. People are free to assess the potential of the team, but it's my job to convince the players that we can win every game. I haven't had individual chats with all the lads yet but they've exceeded my expectations. They're determined to bounce back. I prefer actions to words. And I get the impression these players are going to give me everything they've got," said Mazzarri.
