Sinisa Mihajlovic says he is "convinced" he will succeed at AC Milan and turn the club into one of Europe's great footballing forces once again.
The Serbian signed a two-year deal earlier this month after leaving his previous role with Sampdoria, but faces a difficult task to halt Milan's slide.
Inzaghi's failure to guide the club back to the higher echelons of Serie A ultimately led to his downfall, with the former striker departing after finishing 10th.
Mihajlovic - who led Sampdoria to European football last season - has backed himself to succeed where Inzaghi failed and pointed to his burning desire for success.
"When you're at Milan you cannot fly low," he said at a club sponsorship event. "You're forced to think big and hit great goals, and we will do everything to bring Milan back to places they deserve to be.
"It will not be easy but I am convinced that we will succeed.
"During the era of [owner Silvio] Berlusconi there have been so many coaches, those from the inside like Ancelotti and Capello and those who came from outside like [Alberto] Zaccheroni, [Massimiliano] Allegri and [Arrigo] Sacchi, but right now there is not another coach in Italy with my desire to coach Milan.
"I'm very confident."
