Frank de Boer has been sacked as head coach of Inter in the wake of Sunday's Serie A defeat by Sampdoria.
A first-half strike from Fabio Quagliarella consigned the Nerazzurri to a 1-0 loss at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris, leaving them with just two wins from their last eight matches in all competitions.
Pressure had been mounting on De Boer, who only took charge in August, with the club sitting 12th in the table after four wins from 11 matches.
Chief executive Michael Bolingbroke insisted that De Boer had "100 per cent" backing before the defeat at Sampdoria but, with just five wins from his first 14 games at the helm, the Dutchman has been given the axe.
The club have placed Primavera coach Stefano Vecchi in temporary charge ahead of Thursday's Europa League game against Southampton.
