Inter have reportedly contacted Ajax’ Frank de Boer in order to gauge in interest in becoming the next Nerazzurri coach.

Although current coach Walter Mazzarri has impressed so far with the club, he was appointed by former president Massimo Moratti, meaning new owner Erick Thohir could be considering bringing in his own man.

Radio Deejay confirms that Thohir is considering a coach with more of an international profile and has already made first contacts with de Boer.

While the Indonesian has reiterated his faith in Mazzarri, rumours persists that De Boer could take over at the Milan club should the Nerazzurri continue to sputter.

De Boer took over at Ajax in 2010. The Dutchman has already won three Dutch Eredivisie titles in the two-and-a-half years he has been in charge.
