This afternoons meeting between Roberto Mancini and Massimo Moratti ended in just 20 minutes and there are rumours that the Inter boss reign is over.
The speculation over Mancios future has been growing in intensity since he attempted to resign after the Nerazzurris Champions League exit against Liverpool in March.
Portuguese tactician Jose Mourinho has consistently been touted as a replacement this summer and that suggestion has been supported by reports that the ex-Chelsea man has been learning Italian.
However, Moratti has repeatedly insisted that he wants to keep Mancini in the hot seat and had played down talk of todays meeting being used to discuss the Coachs exit.
But after Mancini walked out of a private residence in Milan after 20 minutes and refused to comment on the outcome, there have been reports that his contract has been rescinded.
There have also been unconfirmed rumours that Inter director Marco Branca is in Portugal this afternoon to finalise terms with Mourinho, who could take over the reigns within a fortnight.
As yet there have been no statements from either side, but the calcio world waits with baited breath.
