Piero Ausilio explains his Inter exit: he wanted a longer deal

Piero Ausilio has spoken about his departure from Inter, a sudden split at the close of the transfer window. According to TuttoMercatoWeb, the director says he would never have left after last season's second place and the lost final in Munich: he wanted to return Inter to where they deserve to be, and he feels that moment has now come. He adds that a decision like this usually has several reasons behind it, and that more opportunities will come.

Ausilio believed he deserved a longer contract with higher pay. Instead, he only received an offer for one more year at similar figures, rather than a three-year deal improving his conditions, so he decided to say goodbye after several good years at the club.

His name is linked to other clubs looking to strengthen their management. Roma and Juventus have recently changed their structures and Milan seem to be heading towards a different style of management, so the range of possible destinations is narrowing.
