Moratti: Jose? No way!
Wednesday 2 April, 2008

Inter chief Massimo Moratti has refuted links with Jose Mourinho and sympathises with Roma.

With Roberto Mancini’s future at the club up in the air, there have been regular Press reports that former Chelsea boss Mourinho is in the frame to replace him.

“For me, Mancini’s bench isn’t a situation that needs to be changed because we are going forward and there is no need for a shock,” he told Italia 1.

“The arrival of Mourinho is one idea, but it isn’t the truth. It is the result of everyone expecting news. At the end of the season we will discuss things with Mancio again.

“I read a lot of things in the newspapers and it annoys me, but I’m used to it and I’m looking to get past it.”

Inter’s focus is on holding their four-point lead over Roma at the top of Serie A, but they have looked short of confidence in recent weeks.

“We are hoping to finish the season on form,” Moratti insisted. “It’s necessary to be on good form because there are lots of tough games ahead.

“It’s a long season, but we have to grit our teeth and fight to the end. Both Roma and ourselves have been the victims of injuries – it’s not an excuse but just a statement of fact.

“Unfortunately these injuries often come to important players and so it isn’t possible to replace them.

“It’s not for us to cry over the absentees but to try and use it as an extra motivation.”

Moratti certainly isn’t taking the threat of Roma lightly and felt they were unlucky in their 2-0 defeat against Manchester United last night.

“Even though Roma had lots of players missing, I thought they would get a better result,” he explained. “They were unlucky but at the moment the English are very strong.

“However, make no mistake, they aren’t out yet and they have already shown against Real that they can prevail.

“The Giallorossi lost out to top opposition even though they played well and so I don’t think it will stall them – they are still a team to be feared.”
