Inter Milan coach Roberto Mancini happy with derby draw

Roberto Mancini admits that he is happy to have marked his return to Inter Milan with a 1-1 draw against city rivals AC Milan.

Roberto Mancini has admitted that he is happy after guiding Inter Milan to a 1-1 draw with AC Milan in his first game back at the club.

The Nerazzurri came from behind at the San Siro on Sunday night as Joel Obi's strike cancelled out Jeremy Menez's opening goal in the Serie A clash.

While insisting that there are still plenty of issues to sort out in the team, Mancini is pleased to have have started his second reign at Inter with a point against their city rivals.

"I'm very happy with how the team played," he told the club's official website. "We changed a system that had been used for the last 18 months and it was never going to be easy.

"I'm happy, they all played well. I didn't think I'd revolutionise things in five days, it's only natural you have a few issues at the start.

"We're a long way off third place but it's too soon to be looking at the table. Our aim is to win as many games as possible even though we're not at 100%."

Sunday's draw has lifted Inter up to ninth place in the table after 12 games.
