He then replaced Rafa Benitez at Inter midway through the following season and took them to a Coppa Italia but left to become Paris Saint-Germain’s sporting director just six months later.

The 48-year-old helped bring several, Italian-based stars to PSG, including the likes of Javier Pastore, Salvatore Sirigu and Ezequiel Lavezzi, and lasted two years in the role.

Antalyaspor, meanwhile, have invested heavily in the likes of Samuel Eto’o and Samir Nasri but remain without a win after five games in the Turkish League this season.
