Inter have confirmed that head coach Luciano Spalletti has left the club just days after steering the Nerazzurri to fourth place in Serie A and into the Champions League next season.

Spalletti arrived at San Siro in the summer of 2017 following the end of his second spell in charge of Roma. The end of that first season yielded a fourth place finish and the club's return to the Champions League for the first time in six long years.
