Gian Piero Gasperini has been surprised by his appointment as Internazionale manager - but has promised exciting times for the club's fans.
Gasperini was sacked by mid-table Genoa in November after a shaky start to the season.
He was not Inter's first choice after a number of names including former Argentina coach Marcelo Bielsa turned them down, but they opted for the experienced coach to replace departing coach Leonardo.
"I am delighted," said Gasperini speaking to local media. "I can't wait to start and to get to work.
"The players are all on holiday now, so I still will have to wait a little bit. We want to have a good season.
"What can I promise? All the best.
"Has the appointment been a surprise? A beautiful one."
Gasperini has yet to sign his contract with Inter, but is expected to be paraded later this week.
