Walter Mazzarri lashes out at Inter, saying his former club had 'no grounds' to sack him.
The former Sampdoria and Napoli Coach was shown the door by the Nerazzurri last November, and replaced by Roberto Mancini, in the midst of a series of poor results.
While the 53-year-old has kept his silence about the club's decision until now, he revealed in an interview with Japanese publication World Soccer Digest that he did not agree with the decision.
“In my opinion there were no grounds to sack me,” he said.
