Roberto Mancini's agent has indicated his client is no longer the coach of Italian champions Inter Milan — although there has been no official club announcement.

Mancini, heavily linked with the Chelsea vacancy, looks to be on his way out at the San Siro less than a fortnight after delivering the club's third consecutive Serie A title.

The 43-year-old's agent, Giorgio De Giorgis, suggested last night that Mancini had left the club following a 25-minute meeting with president Massimo Moratti.

De Giorgis also claimed former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho had been lined up as Mancini's replacement.

He told Sportitalia television: "Roberto never expected it to end like this. As an outsider, I could rationally understand that something was not right, but that is the way things have gone.

"Roberto is very disappointed also because he has not yet finished his job — he wanted to try and win even more league titles, and maybe even the Champions League.

"Now Mourinho will arrive and he has only got to repeat what has happened in the last few years."
