Roberto Mancini is angry and offended by the treatment he has received from Inter.
Mancini was officially sacked on Thursday evening, despite delivering a third consecutive League title.
The 43-year-old had been under fire since resigning and then retracting his decision after Inter's defeat to Liverpool in the Champions League in March.
The Nerazzurri dressing room splintered as they almost blew an 11-point lead, making Mancini's position untenable.
Moratti's courtship of Portguese tactician Jose Mourinho has been an open secret and undermined Mancini even further.
The former Lazio and Fiorentina boss has reacted bitterly to his dismissal and is pursuing legal action.
Mancini's lawyer Stefano Gagliardi is taking Inter to task for sacking Mancini because of what he said after the Liverpool match.
Inter published a statement on their website on Thursday, which read: “Inter Milan communicates its dismissal of Coach Roberto Mancini.
“… Because of comments made by Mancini at the end of Inter-Liverpool March 11 2008.”
Gagliardi believes it is too late to use that as a justifiable excuse for getting rid of Mancio.
“We abide by the national contract for Coaches which says that a club has 10 days from an alleged breach to take action.
“Any event referred to in the statement happened months ago,” said Gagliardi.
Mancini is particularly offended that he was fired so soon after being caught on a wiretap with a man accused of drug-trafficking and mafia collusion.
“He is angry and disappointed,” added Gagliardi. “Because he feels injured as a person and troubled.”
Inter have also threatened to take to court anyone who alleges Mancini's dismissal was not correct.
