Benitez sticking with Inter, insists agent

Rafael Benitez’s agent on Tuesday dismissed speculation that the Spaniard’s days as Inter Milan coach are numbered by stating he has not been called for a meeting with club president Massimo Moratti.

“No one called me and I’ve had no meeting scheduled with Massimo Moratti,” Manuel Garcia Quilon told the ANSA news agency.

“Benitez wants to continue to do his job and continue to work to improve the club.”

Benitez has looked ever closer to the exit door after Moratti blasted the former Liverpool boss for his post-Club World Cup outburst.

Having seen his side beat Congolese outfit Tout Puissant Mazembe 3-0 to win their fifth trophy of the year, Benitez launched a tirade against the powers that be at Inter.

He accused his bosses of failing to support him in the transfer market and accused the players of taking their own decisions.

A furious Moratti was reported to be set to fire Benitez even though the dismissal of the former Liverpool boss, who took over from Portuguese coach Jose Mourinho during the summer, could cost the club between four and eight million euros.
