Rumors have emerged in the past few hours regarding contact between Inter’s management and Jose Mourinho regarding his return to coach the Nerazzurri.
Inter is looking for a new coach after Simone Inzaghi left to coach Al-Hilal, and Cesc Fàbregas was the first choice, before the Spaniard rejected the offer.
Immediately, Italian media reported that contact had taken place between Inter and Mourinho, and that the Special One had expressed preliminary agreement to leave Fenerbahçe and return to work at the San Siro.
Will Mourinho coach Inter?
For his part, Mourinho categorically denied the widespread rumors, confirming that Inter had never contacted him about the job.
The Portuguese coach told journalist Ivan Tzazzaroni that the rumors were baseless and pure fabrication.
Mourinho continued in his message published by the famous Italian journalist, “This is a complete lie. There has been no contact of any kind. They are spreading this news to appease some angry fans.”
Mourinho is considered an Inter legend, having led the club to a historic treble in 2010. This explains why his name was put forward to appease fans after a disappointing season and Inzaghi’s departure.
Mourinho to Continue with Fenerbahçe
Mourinho will continue as coach of Fenerbahçe next season, according to all Turkish media outlets.
Mourinho failed to win any titles in his first season with the Turkish club, raising questions about whether he would complete the second and final year of his contract.
Finally, after a meeting with Fenerbahçe officials, the Portuguese will complete his mission, hoping to achieve the success he has always known for his career in his second year.
