ROME -- Now that Frank de Boer has been fired, Inter Milan fans are debating who was more responsible for the squads poor start to the season: the Dutch manager or the new Chinese owners.While De Boer never really showed a complete understanding of Italian football tactics in his 84 days in charge, more blame is being heaped on the retail giant Suning, which took control of 70 percent of Inter in June.Even an extraordinary coach cant do great things without the club. You cant control a football squad from Jakarta, Beijing or Nanjing, said Marco Tronchetti Provera, the CEO of Inters chief sponsor Pirelli and a big supporter of the team. Theres been a long line of mistakes. ... This is a problem that should have been resolved a while ago.De Boer was fired on Tuesday after producing only five wins, seven losses and two draws in 14 matches in all competitions -- leaving the club in 12th place in Serie A and also struggling in the Europa League. Many Inter fans had lost patience with the Dutchman and were calling for a change.De Boer was hired less than two weeks before the season began following the unexpected resignation of Roberto Mancini, who reportedly wanted more control over the transfer market and clashed with Suning.Players who thrived under Mancini struggled under De Boer.Felipe Melo has appeared in just two of 11 Serie A matches. Fellow midfielder Geoffrey Kondogbia lost his place in the starting lineup after getting substituted 28 minutes into a 1-1 draw with Bologna because he wasnt listening to De Boers instructions.Gabriel Barbosa, the promising Brazilian forward known as Gabigol who Inter signed in late August amid great fanfare -- even though it was unclear if De Boer wanted him -- appeared for just 21 minutes against Bologna and hasnt played since.Mauro Icardi, the high-scoring Inter captain, was widely ridiculed by the clubs hardcore ultra fans after recounting a clash with the supporters in his recently published autobiography.The lone highlight of De Boers campaign was a 2-1 win over Juventus in September -- sandwiched in between embarrassing Europa League losses to Hapoel Beer-Sheva and Sparta Prague, matches in which Inter was outscored 5-1.Its too bad it ended like this, De Boer said on Twitter. This task required more time to move forward.Inters youth squad coach, Stefano Vecchi, was given temporary control of the senior team for Thursdays Europa League match at Southampton.Former Chievo Verona, Bologna and Lazio coach Stefano Pioli is the leading candidate to take over permanently for De Boer.Im sorry for De Boer. Im sorry for Pioli. Its the management that should be fired, Tweeted entertainer, comedian and Inter supporter Rosario Fiorello.Inters next coach will become the teams ninth since Jose Mourinho led the club to a treble in 2010. The others were: Rafa Benitez, Leonardo, Gian Piero Gasperini, Claudio Ranieri, Andrea Stramaccioni, Walter Mazzarri, Mancini and De Boer.Of the bunch, De Boers term was the shortest, beating the 90 days that Gasperini -- who is now finding success at Atalanta -- was in charge in 2011. Ranieri, who led Leicester to the English Premier League title last season, also didnt last a full term as Gasperinis replacement.On social media, Inter supporters declared that the coaching changes highlight the incapability of the management and said De Boers sacking was a shame.An 18-time Serie A champion, Inter is 13 points behind Italian league leader Juventus and has 10 fewer points than at this stage last season, when it stood second and appeared to be a genuine challenger to Juventus.As a player, De Boer won the Champions League with Ajax. He also coached the Dutch club to four Eredivisie titles before resigning at the end of last season.De Boer had never played or coached in Italy before taking the Inter job.Former Serie A coach turned commentator Emiliano Mondonico suggested that De Boer deserved at least six months.He has a revolutionary idea of football that deserved time to be applied and assimilated by the players, Mondonico said. Unfortunately, the Italian mentality doesnt include patience.Mondonico added that Inter should have provided De Boer with an expert Italian guide, like when he assisted Sven-Goran Eriksson for the Swedes first season in Italy with Roma in 1984-85.(Then Roma president) Dino Viola made me his assistant to help him get settled in his new environment, Mondonico recounted. The president understood that Roma was a difficult place to control for anybody, so I tried to put the Swede in the best condition to coach in absolute tranquility.Suning decided to fire De Boer after Inter appeared thoroughly confused in a 1-0 loss at Sampdoria on Sunday.Generally, the only winning formula in football is a passionate owner who is close to the squad, exactly like (Silvio) Berlusconi with AC Milan or (Andrea) Agnelli at Juventus, Tronchetti Provera said.The Chinese owners moved well in the transfer market, but theyve got to rely on someone who knows Italian football well and give them full powers to control the squad, Tronchetti Provera said.

ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- DeAndre Levy can finally return to practice with the Detroit Lions.The linebacker, who missed all but one half of one game with a hip injury last season, was taken off the non-football injury list on Tuesday morning after dealing with an undisclosed injury during the first three weeks of training camp.Levy told ESPN on Monday he wanted to get some action just to sharpen up before the season opener against the Indianapolis Colts on Sept. 11, which is the goal date in his head to play again.I would like to get some live reps so the first time out there, bullets arent just flying, Levy told ESPN on Monday. You know, we had a lot of defense, a lot of installation, and you want to get some natural reps. Its different seeing them on paper and seeing them on the tablet, so I would like to get some reps, like I said, but Im not stressing preseason ... the goal is September 11th.Levy said he believes hes close to returning. He was a surprise addition to the non-football injury list at the start of training camp and referred all questions about what was wrong with him to Lions coach Jim Caldwell.Caldwell has not elaborated on Levys injury.Levy has been spending most of Detroits training camp practices standing behind the linebackers and mimicking what they would be doing on certain plays during installation. Hes doing that for multiple reasons. The first is to make sure he understands his reads and what is supposed to happen when he gets back out there. The second is to teach the guys who are playing in his place right now.It hasnt been easy for him to sit out -- especially after he missed last season. He was the NFLs leader in solo tackles in 2014 with 117 and was tied for second in the league in interceptions in 2013 with six.ddddddddddddBut sitting out last season gave him perspective on how he has to approach injuries and his body.Just being patient, man, Levy said. Thats the biggest thing I kind of took away from it, is just being patient. Im not beating myself up over missing games that dont count. My body, have to be more conscious of taking care of my body and letting it rest when it needs to rest and taking my time.Thats kind of what happened last year. I felt my foot was on the gas every time. You know, Id come back from something and my foots back on the gas. So I gotta just, going into Year 8, youve got to be a little more conscious of that, I think.That said, Levy admits it has been hard to watch, especially because he hasnt played with pads on in so long. Oh my God, its killing me. It kills me, man, it kills me, Levy said. But its necessary. I try to have a long-term perspective on it all.The perspective is rest now so he is healthy later.For the Lions, Levys absence has left them thin at linebacker. Josh Bynes, who started the preseason opener in Levys place, also sat out practice Monday.Detroit is also without Jon Bostic, who had foot surgery Monday. ESPN Insiders Josina Anderson reported that he injured a fifth metatarsal before he was carted off during practices with the Pittsburgh Steelers in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, last week.Caldwell was was unclear on when Bostic might return.Well see how long it takes [Bostic] to heal, Caldwell said. He told me hes a quick healer. Well see.A source told Anderson on Tuesday that Bostic is expected to be out between 6-12 weeks depending on how he responds to rehab. ' ' '
