Mourinho in the frame for
Inter
JOSE MOURINHO is Inter Milan’s No 1 target if
Roberto Mancini carries out his threat to quit.
The Italian giants intend to meet Mourinho’s agent,
Jorge Mendes, before this weekend — even though their president,
Massimo Moratti, last night claimed Mancini may stay.
The Inter coach said he was leaving at the end of this
season after his side were dumped out of the Champions League by
Liverpool on Tuesday.
And a senior source at Inter said: “Moratti is a great
admirer of Mourinho who he sees as one of life’s achievers — just
like himself.
“The belief is that it will not take too long to reach
an agreement with Mourinho to become the new coach of Inter.”
But Moratti added to the uncertainty last night,
claiming Mancini had undergone a change of mind.
The Inter president said: “Roberto reiterated that he
wants to stay at Inter next year and for all the duration of his
contract and that next season he wants to win the Champions
League.”
