Javier Zanetti will become director of Inter Milan as the end of the season.

Zanetti's 19th season as an Inter player will be his last.

Rumors that Zanetti would stay at Inter after his playing career finished have been circulating in the Italian media for most of the season.

"The meetings with Zanetti have been going on for the last couple of months to understand his vision," Thohir said.

"The discussion is done already; he'll become part of the management."
