Inter Milan have sacked coach Gian Piero Gasperini after three Serie A matches in charge, according to reports in Italy.

The 53-year-old, who replaced Leonardo this summer, endured a 3-1 defeat to newly-promoted side Novara last night.

“Will Gasperini stay? I don't think so," said club president Massimo Moratti after the match, according to Eurosport.

"It seems to be a difficult situation, especially for him. I haven't thought of an alternative so far and I don't think there's a problem concerning his relationship with the players.

"It's a difficult situation from every point of view. I didn't like yesterday's match at all.”

Gasperini is the former Champions League winners' third coach since Jose Mourinho left for Real Madrid last year.
