Former Chelsea boss Claudio Ranieri has been appointed as Inter Milan's new manager following the sacking of Gian Piero Gasperini, according to reports from Italy.
Ranieri, who has also managed Roma, Juventus and Valencia in the past, has been drafted in as the Italian giants seek a set of safe hands with which to stablise their disastrous start to the season.
"I think I will need to talk a lot with the squad, the mental aspect is very important," Ranieri told RAI Sport of his prospective move to the San Siro.
"Inter are a great team, we have to pick up the pace after this false start. The players are there and we have everything to lift the team."
'The Tinkerman', as is he affectionately known, has been out of work since quitting Roma in Febuary and is the fourth man to take over at Inter following the exit of Jose Mourinho, with Rafael Benitez, Leonardo and Gasperini all failing to stop the side's decline.

"Gasperini had every right to try to execute his ideas, he tried to make his system work with all his strength, but without success. I do not think he can be criticised, he tried to implement his ideas until the end.
"For me, every system can bring victories, if Inter have always played in a specific way, there must be a reason," said Ranieri.
Others linked to the job include the current England manager Fabio Capello, but he looks set to stay in the job until the end of Euro 2012.
If given the top job, as reported, Ranieri refused to reveal his goals for the remainder of the campaign.
"I do not like to promise things, I want the best from these players, who have so much to give," he said.
