The future of Inter Milan coach Roberto Mancini is causing rifts at
board level and also amongst the playing group, it has been
revealed.
Mancini's future is the subject of intense speculation after
Inter's disappointing start to the season.
La Stampa says amongst the players, Luis Figo and Dejan Stankovic
are loyal to Mancino, however he is offside with Javier Zanetti,
Adriano, Marco Materazzi, Santiago Solari and Julio Cruz. The new
arrivals, such as Patrick Vieira, Maicon and Hernan Crespo, are
staying on the fringes of the debate inside the dressing
room.
Meanwhile, at board level, Lele Oriali is fully supportive of the
coach. However, Marco Branca and Rinaldi Ghelfi are the most
critical, while Ernesto Paolillo, the general executive manager, is
neutral.
