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.”
