Stramaccioni pleased with response

Inter Milan interim boss Andrea Stramaccioni says he's been pleased by how his players have responded since he took charge in March.

The 36-year-old was appointed until the end of the season following the dismissal of Claudio Ranieri and the Nerazzurri have been unbeaten in their two games under his guidance. Inter face Siena at the San Siro on Wednesday night and the young coach has thanked his players for their efforts so far but has urged them to continue their progress. "Speaking in general, my aim for this season is to give my best and give my contribution until the end of the season," he said. "I think that the team reacted well in the first two games with me as their head coach and now I feel part of them. "I'm their coach now and our only focus should be to play well."
