No Agreement After Meeting Regarding Jose Mourinho's Inter Departure - Report
The case of 'The Special One' remains open for the time being...
By Adam Scime
After winning a historic treble with the Nerazzurri, both Jose Mourinho and Real Madrid have announced that the Portuguese tactician will be taking over at the Santiago Bernabeu next seaon - but first he must release himself from his contract with the Serie A giants.
The meeting, which featured Inter director Marco Branca, Mourinho's agent Jorge Mendes and Real Madrid vice-president Jose Angel Sanchez, came to a conclusion without a solution that would satisfy all parties.

The former Chelsea boss' contract currently runs until 2012.
"We will discuss more later, I will return," Mendes said upon leaving the meeting.
