Former Inter defender Lucio believes that the club’s management has made several mistakes as they try to restore the team’s former glory from past seasons.

The Nerazzurri have struggled in recent seasons and haven’t won a title since the 2010-11 season, though they have shown improvement under new coach Walter Mazzarri.

The club are also under new ownership as majority owner and president Erick Thohir has plans of restructuring the squad to make the Biscione a top European team again.

Lucio spoke from Brazil recently and admitted that Inter could have done things differently in order to continue their success from previous seasons, mainly the 2009-10 campaign when they achieved a treble, and conceded that their climb back to the top will take some time.

“A radical revolution is always complicated,” said the 35-year-old as reported by fcinternews.it.

“You have to be wise and know where to go, and Inter did not do things right.

“They sold Maicon, Julio Cesar, [Samuel] Eto’o and me, all the protagonists of a winning cycle, which went ahead again in 2011 and won the Coppa Italia.

“To suddenly get rid of people who had a positive influence on the club and bring in new ones has been controversial. A winning team isn’t built over one day and night.

“The climb is hard. Most of the big European clubs are based on a core of players. For me, the great revolutions don’t work. You can’t turn wine into water.

“It’ll take a long time for Inter to find the right combination and get back to being a great team.”
