Former Inter Milan coach Roberto Mancini has had his contract at the Italian champions resolved and is now available to take other jobs. Inter said in a statement on Saturday that a deal had been mutually agreed after over a year of talks. Mancini, who has been linked in the media with Real Madrid given coach Manuel Pellegrini is under pressure, was sacked in May last year despite a third straight league title after losing the confidence of Inter president Massimo Moratti.
The 44-year-old coach threatened to resign during the 2007/08 season only to change his mind later, angering Moratti. He was replaced by Jose Mourinho, who led the current Serie A leaders to the scudetto again last term.
