Stankovic's Euro priority
Tuesday 13 January, 2009

Inter midfielder Dejan Stankovic has set his sights on the Champions League trophy. “It's the one I'm missing.”

The Nerazzurri began 2009 with a disappointing draw against Cagliari, but they still lead Serie A by four points.

However, the main objective for the campaign is to rule Europe and Stankovic wants to triumph in the Champions League.

“As a player I have never stopped improving and the results speak for themselves,” Stankovic told FIFA.com.

“I have won a lot of titles over the last five years, but I don't intend to stop here.

“There's a very important trophy that I haven't won during my time at Inter and that is the Champions League.”

Stankovic was one of Roberto Mancini's trusted men, but he also has a good relationship with current tactician Jose Mourinho.

“I've had the chance to work under Alberto Zaccheroni and Mancini,” the Serbian international said.

“I never had any problems with either of them. I always respected them and I never stopped learning.

“But now I have the good fortune to be working with Mourinho. He's a winner and a Coach who is behind many of the innovations in the modern game,” he concluded.
