Inter legend Beppe Bergomi believes Coach Luciano Spalletti is this summer’s best signing – “I never had doubts”.
The tactician left Roma at the end of last season, and has now taken over the Nerazzurri after Stefano Vecchi’s caretaker role.
“He’s great,” Bergomi told Corriere dello Sport when asked about Spalletti.
“I never had any doubts that he’d be good though, because I’ve known Luciano for a long time, I know how he works and the mentality he transmits to his teams.

“He’s great,” Bergomi told Corriere dello Sport when asked about Spalletti.
“I never had any doubts that he’d be good though, because I’ve known Luciano for a long time, I know how he works and the mentality he transmits to his teams.

“Spalletti has already proven himself capable of increasing the performance of those who have done less in the past. [Mauro] Icardi will improve even more with Spalletti.”
Bergomi was also asked which signings his former club should make.
“They’d be completed with a trequartista, because [Marcelo] Brozovic and Joao Mario aren’t suited to that role.
“Other that that, a second striker who guarantees goals because to finish in the top four you need to score 80-85 goals.
