Moratti calls for focus

(GSM) – Internazionale president Massimo Moratti is hoping that no one will be distracted by rumours linking coach Jose Mourinho with Real Madrid.

The Portuguese boss has long been speculated to take over at Real in the summer after leading Inter to this season’s UEFA Champions League final, which is coincidentally is being held at the Santiago Bernabeu.

And the former Chelsea manager refused to confirm he would still be Inter coach next season over the weekend, fuelling further speculation that the Portuguese could change jobs.

However, in the build-up to the final weekend of the Serie A season, Moratti has called on the club to focus on seeing off Roma’s challenge for the title.

“We are only thinking of ending the tournament,” said Moratti.

“We don’t even know if what is said is true. No one wants to be distracted, neither Mourinho nor I.”

A win on Sunday at Siena would see Inter claim their fifth straight Scudetto and the second since Mourinho took charge at Giuseppe Meazza.

“Mourinho is a coach that has done very well in his two years at Inter,” said Moratti.

“He has a contract to remain with us.”
