During the summer of UEFA Euro 2016, a Chinese company, Suning Holdings Group, bought almost all the shares of club. Roberto Mancini left the side days before the season started, with Frank de Boer called to replace him: when he was appointed, the Dutch manager barely knew Italian. This season resulted, once again, in disappointment for supporters; De Boer started with poor results against low-ranked opponents, such as Chievo and Palermo, deteriorating the opinion of his fans. In these, and other matches, Inter had a shortness of goals with the result that their wins were, often, due to the performances of individual players (mainly the captain Icardi and Perišić).
