The Serbian was responsible for liaisons between the club and the squad, having been a Nerazzurri player for 10 years.

“After a season as club manager, Dejan Stankovic bids farewell to Inter and embarks on the next stage of his career,” a statement on the Beneamata’s website began.

“After making 326 appearances during his playing career, last season he returned to experience the Nerazzurri universe from another perspective, as club manager.

“Once an Interista, always an Interista!

“Thanks for everything, Deki and best of luck in your future career.”
