Inter Milan manager Frank de Boer has urged his side to turn their form around after they fell to a third straight league defeat at the weekend.

The Nerazzurri began their time under De Boer brightly, including victory over reigning champions Juventus, but they have failed to pick up a single point from three outings so far in October.

Sunday's late 2-1 defeat to Atalanta saw them continue their poor form, but De Boer insists that he has seen enough to convince him that brighter times are ahead.

"Three defeats in a row is not good enough for a great club like Inter, but I've seen that the team can get a lot better," he told the club's official website.

"The only way to come through this is by working hard and speaking with the players to understand how we can change things.

"I feel the club's confidence in me but we need a win to turn things around. I want to see a confident team out there."

Inter will look to return to winning ways against Torino on Wednesday night.
