Not only am I perfect, I'm Italian too! Balotelli's message to fans after crashing Inter Milan unveiling
To this: Now he is in charge of the most handsomely paid squad in Serie A

The 36-year-old was promoted from youth team coach to guide the senior side after former Chelsea boss Ranieri was sacked on Monday with Inter 10 points adrift of the third and last Champions League qualifying place.

Stramaccioni, who is Inter's fifth coach in the space of 22 months, said: 'It is a beautiful dream come true. It has been totally unexpected but a dream that club president (Massimo) Moratti has granted me and I will try to do the best I can.'

The Rome-born Stramaccioni led the Nerazzurri's youth team to victory in the inaugural NextGen Series in London on Sunday.

'The victory in London with the youth team feels like it happened a long time ago considering yesterday's developments,' he said. 'Only football at this level can give you these emotions.'

Stramaccioni has no experience coaching in Italy's top flight and knows the challenge he will face to guide a star-studded side.
