Argentine coach Hector Cuper has taken over at Inter Milan, the Serie A club said on its website today, ending over a month of speculation.
55-year -old Cuper has coached Valencia since 1999, leading the Spanish club to successive Champions League finals.
On Sunday, the last day of Italy's season, Inter announced that Marco Tardelli would not be the coach in the next campaign.
Tenerife's Rafael Benitez will replace Cuper as Valencia coach, the club's president Pedro Cortes said on Tuesday.
