Internazionale president Massimo Moratti has dismissed speculation claiming that Rafa Benitez and Jose Mourinho were both being considered as potential replacements for coach Roberto Mancini.

Mancini’s position at Inter has come under scrutiny since he announced he would step down at the end of the season in the wake of the Champions League defeat to Liverpool.

He later underwent a U-turn and decided to stay after holding talks with Moratti, but speculation about his long term future is rife.

Liverpool boss Benitez was recently linked with Inter, while former Chelsea boss Mourinho has been linked with several jobs since leaving Stamford Bridge.

“These are all baloney,” Moratti told the Italian press. “Despite what you are saying and writing, there has been nothing.

“These would all be things to deny, but we have not got the patience to do it.

“I hope these rumours do not have an influence on Saturday’s performance because we have a big game against Lazio.”
