The former Barcelona and Manchester City full-back retired in 2010 and has since been working as an assistant manager at a number of Brazilian clubs including Cruzeiro and Corinthians.
It was reported yesterday that the Brazilian would join Mancio at Inter as his assistant, and Sylvinho has revealed that he couldn’t say no to the Nerazzurri.
“Inter is too big an opportunity to turn down,” the Corriere dello Sport reports Sylvinho as telling friends.
“I was flattered when Mancini called me.”
The former defender is expected to join up with Mancini at San Siro in the coming weeks.
