Fabrizio Romano has dismissed growing speculation linking Diego Simeone with the Inter managerial job after a strong statement from club president Giuseppe Marotta.<\/p>\n
Reports from Spain had claimed that Inter had already reached a pre-contract agreement with Diego Simeone, sparking widespread debate across European football. However, Marotta has categorically denied the claims, calling them \u201cabsolute fake news.\u201d<\/p>\n
Speaking via Romano\u2019s official update, the Inter chief said: \u201cReports from Spain on a pre-contract agreed between us and Diego Simeone are absolute fake news. The story is not true at all. We are super happy with our coach Cristian Chivu.\u201d<\/p>\n
The statement puts an immediate end to rumours that Inter were planning a managerial change behind the scenes. Simeone, who has long been associated with Atl\u00e9tico Madrid, was linked with several top European clubs following mixed reports about his long-term future in Spain. Inter\u2019s name quickly emerged as a possible destination, given their ambitions in Serie A and Europe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
