Mancini may have delivered his third successive Scudetto for the Nerazzurri at the weekend, however rumours continue to circulate that he will be packing his bags and making way for Jose Mourinho.

"I am 100% convinced that Roberto is staying at Inter," Mancio’s agent Giorgio De Giorgis told Radio Radio.

"It would come as a huge surprise if he were to leave. His relationship with president [Massimo] Moratti is very harmonious."

Despite winning Serie A, this has not been the easiest of seasons for Mancini, who has had a number of falling-outs with players and staff members.

"It is clear that he does not get on with [club doctor Franco] Combi, but I always tell him that he cannot claim to know more than the doctors,” De Giorgis continued.

"If a doctor says it will take a player three weeks to recover, the coach always says he wants him back in one."

The pressure had been building on Mancini ahead of Sunday’s victory at Parma, as Inter had missed two opportunities against Milan and Siena to wrap up the title.

"Certainly, when you win, everything is fine, but when you lose, there is a bit of tension," De Giorgis stated.

"Above all, though, tension had been built up from outside Inter and there have never been any real problems between the president and the coach.

"Certainly, though, the president and Roberto will have to meet to understand if they want this partnership to continue as it has been up to now."
