Massimo Moratti has rubbished reports linking Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez and former Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho with the Inter Milan job.
Speculation remains rife about Inter manager Roberto Mancini's future after he announced in the aftermath of the Champions League defeat to Liverpool that he would step down at the end of the season.
He later made a made a U-turn and decided to stay after holding talks with Inter president Moratti, but speculation has continued about a possible change.
The future of Liverpool boss Benitez has also been the subject of conjecture for some time, while Mourinho has been linked with several jobs since leaving Chelsea.
Fiorentina coach Cesare Prandelli is another name reportedly in the frame to come to come in for Mancini, but Moratti insists there is no truth in any of the rumours.
"These are all baloney," Moratti said. "Despite what you are saying and writing, there has been nothing.
"These would all be things to deny, but we have not got the patience to do it.
"I hope these rumours do not have an influence on Saturday's performance because we have a big game against Lazio."

Strange how Rafa is one of the most coveted coaches in Europe but does not appear to be appreciated by the ridiculous English media. He has proved time and again how good he is and is rightly regarded as one of the best coaches in the world but doesn't get the respect he deserves in England. True, he has some way to go to win the league but when he's competing with the mega-rich Arsenal, Chelsea and Man U then that is an unbelievably difficult task.
