Wow, Leonardo Quitting Took me By Surprise!

Gazzetta dello Sport says Moratti spoke with Bielsa about moving to Inter - though whether it was for this season or next is yet to be revealed.

Moratti is understood to see coach Leonardo's long-term position at Inter as a sports director.

Former Argentina and Chile coach Bielsa is a free agent and eager to return to Europe.

Inter Milan president Massimo Moratti has vehemently denied reports he is in talks with veteran coach Marcelo Bielsa.

Gazzetta dello Sport claimed on Tuesday that Moratti is looking for a coaching change with current manager Leonardo considered as a better sporting director in the long run.

Bielsa, the former Argentina boss and outgoing Chile coach, is a free agent.

"Let me clarify this, there has never been a telephone conversation," Moratti said on the club's official website. "We have a coach and he is good."

Leonardo, who replaced sacked Rafael Benitez at the helm in December, led Inter to a runners-up finish in Serie A and the Coppa Italia title.

Moratti also spoke about his surprise at the recent remarks made by his Dutch winger Wesley Sneijder.

Sneijder, who has been a reported target of Chelsea this summer, was quoted as saying: "Only God knows if I will remain at Inter."

Moratti said: "He said the previous day that he was more than happy to remain in the Inter family."

At the entrance of the Saras offices, president Massimo Moratti answered questions from waiting journalists.

President, in the newspapers this morning we read of an alleged phone call to Marcelo Bielsa?

"There was never any phone call – let us make that clear."

However, you like the Argentine coach.

"We have a good coach."
