"ANNUAL CONTRACT TO WIN IMMEDIATELY"
"Bielsa said no because of personal reasons. Villas Boas is good but costly. Capello? What not to like?"
Milan - Massimo Moratti has been doing a lot of hunting in his office. Yesterday, the president of Inter started to make news about the next coach. "Mihajlovic is part of another team and I, for now, will not make move for those who are under contract. But I want to point out that there are talks of us getting no from this candidate and another no from other but we have not received any thing like that. Only from Bielsa because of personal reasons and the dialogue was unable to continue. For the rest, we have a mountain of yes's and now I have to choose." In the evening, without the pressure of the cameras, the number one of Inter speaks more calmly about this interesting race to get the man who will sit on the Inter bench.
President, where are we?
"It will be a weekend of work. No hurry, we will evaluate the choices."
What characteristics should the successor of Leonardo have?
"I am looking for a coach of Inter, who doesn't pretend to change team a lot. I think of a one year contract with an option on the second."
This detail is reminiscent of a interim (caretaker) coach.
"Not at all. At Inter, there is nothing to be taken care of. Just try to win everything."
Do you like Villas Boas?
"Certainly but he has a very high out clause (15 million). It's like buying a player but that figure remains high. A clause that is not for transfer market because you could tell in the case of Mourinho who won everything..."
So you're moving to the former tactics of the Special One?
"I see it very difficult. Also because I think that the names interest us (preference is Hiddink) are also liked by Chelsea."
And Capello?
"Why, what not to like?"
What are the facts about these names that we've heard?
"With Van Gaal, it would be a risk to shake the team. Rossi, Mihajlovic, Gasperini, Dunga and Zico have all been taken into consideration."
What has happened to Leonardo?
"He told me about this opportunity and it is unique. I would never hold on to him because of it. Even though that there is no official announcement yet but he is no longer the coach of Inter."
Are you close to find the new coach?
"Next week."
What can you tell us about Bielsa?
"A great gentleman. At first he was thrilled to come to Inter. Then problems occur, even to his family, and he had to decline. He was truly sorry and had a letter explaining the reasons for his no."
