Are they gonna have a presentation in Milano for him to explain more what his role/plans at Inter are?

A strong director with vision is needed for corporate running club like Inter. Just see where juve was when their sporting director was alessio secco post calciopoli era. Marotta came and he only need 1 season to bring juve to top again. I hope sabatini will do the same for inter. Welcome Walter.

I'm so confused by what his role actually is. Did he just become Ausillio's boss? Will there be another Ausillio under him on the Jiangsu side?

If I had to guess, Sabatini will be the one picking the targets and laying the plans while Ausilio will do the negotiating.

Yep pretty much this, thank goodness

Ausilio can ask for a player like Berardi but if Sabatini thinks he isn't what we need he can say nope and that's it or yes and then Ausilio goes fetch
Basically his boss...
Question is will Ausilio tolerate this demotion..
It is him like when he was a Lassie to Branca ...

Not happy with this decision but welcome and good luck.

Making a handful of quality signings isn't the same as building a team. In fact being able to sign quality players doesn't cover all the responsibilities of a quality technical director. Is he capable of signing a few players that can give us top4? I think so. Is he capable of getting the most out of Suning's budget in terms of quality? Absolutely not. Is he capable at building a balanced squad? His precedent at Roma to me speaks otherwise. A move that could look good short term but backfire long term and these positions need long term solutions. Dissapointing because last summer a lot of good technical directors were on the move... Luis Campos, Antonio Cordon to name two.

Although as always it's impossible to make a concrete judgement about methodology based on some definition of the results so maybe my concerns are irrelevant. We also don't have enough information to judge the environment at Inter so it's impossible to be certain about what solutions are needed to give us the results we're looking for.

Pedulla reports this: Sabatini could bring in his friend Frederic Massara^ who is Roma's current sporting director,or was as now with Monchi coming in,well he replaced Sabatini in 2016 but now Monchi wants Totti besides him and so a move to the Suning sports... whatever, sponsored by his friend Sabatini is an option ...as his close collaborator

He appears to be working for Suning, not replacing Ausilio. If anybody, he is replacing Kia Joorabchian.

Thank the Lord!!

What does that mean? What had Kia Motors for part in this club?

Roma fans seem to think he dislikes Italian players and prefers gambling on foreigners and hoping they develop into something (time at Palermo kinda confirms that). Just relaying what I read on a Roma forum. They think he's an upgrade over what we have but they're still over the moon with Monchi obviously.

Is this guy taking the role that Oriali was recently rumoured to be returning for? or is that another role altogether?

He did good job in Roma and Palermo.

A story i heard about him - When he was in Roma he watched corinthians fc game, and saw a 17 years old player comes in. this boy tried to get a lost ball at all power, and when the ball got out, he got angry for not saving it on the field. Sabatini saw that and impressed by the player. the name of the boy was Marquinhos.

I dont know if its true, i heard it from Roma fan, and i know they very appreciate Sabatini.

Sabatini: "I will tell you Ausilio's future as soon as he comes back from buying me the pack of cigarettes"
