The Dutchman, the most capped outfield player in the history of the Netherlands football team, had been linked with Premier League clubs Southampton and Everton before those positions were filled.
At Inter he will have under two weeks to sign more players before the Serie A season starts against Chievo on August 21.
Mancini said his farewells to the blue and black stripes of Inter Milan Monday after the club confirmed his exit, amid media reports the Serie A giants’ new Chinese owners wanted fresh blood to rejuvenate the team.
The 51-year old had been coach for two years, having previously led Inter to three league titles and two Coppa Italias during his first spell in charge between 2004 and 2008.
