The Portuguese coach Jose Mourinho won the Champions League, two Italian titles and the Italian Cup in two years at Inter before leaving for Madrid in 2010.

His successor, Rafael Benitez, was replaced by Leonardo after less than six months in charge.

Leonardo only has a contract for this season and the Italian press has speculated that Mourinho could return when it runs out.

However, Mourinho told Gazzetta dello Sport Saturday to “please stop talking about Mourinho being at Inter next season. Myself and Inter will be linked forever, and one day will work together again. But not next year."
