Inter president Massimo Moratti has revealed that the club are not interested in hiring former England boss Fabio Capello.

Capello resigned as manager of the Three Lions on Wednesday after a disagreement with the FA over its decision to strip Chelsea defender John Terry of the England captaincy.

CAPELLO RESIGNS
Italian sources have suggested there is a strong possibility that Capello could take charge of the Nerazzurri if the club decide to part company with current coach Claudio Ranieri.

The 60-year-old took over from Gian Piero Gasperini in September but Inter are in the midst of a poor run of form as they sit fifth in the Serie A table, nine points behind Juventus, who have one match in hand.

"Rumours about a possible change of coach, now or at the end of the season, are totally groundless," Moratti told Inter's official website.

"The rumour about Capello taking over at Inter is also groundless."
