There cannot be two coaches of Inter - Mancini

Roberto Mancini insists there cannot be two coaches of Inter after Diego Simeone hinted the Serie A is a preferred destination for his next managerial job.

Simeone, who played for Inter between 1997 and 1999, suggested he would be interested in coaching the Italian club after he leaves Atletico Madrid. 

"Diego was one of my team-mates at Lazio and I also coached him," the Italian told Premium Sport.

"If one day he'll join Inter I'll be happy, but there can't be two coaches now. 

"We'll see when I'll leave."

"Becoming Italy national team coach is not something that happens every day," he said.

"It is a different job, but it can be as exciting and stimulating. I think that when one is offered the national team job he has to accept, if there is a chance."
