Inter Milan have appointed former Genoa boss Gian Piero Gasperini as their new coach on a two-year contract.

Gasperini, 53, was sacked by Genoa in November but earned plaudits when he led them to fifth in Serie A in 2009.

Inter president Massimo Moratti said on the club's official website: "I am fully satisfied with the choice."
