Inter Milan boss Mazzarri: Thohir can call me

Inter Milan boss Walter Mazzarri says he won't be seeking talks with new owner Erick Thohir. Mazzarri is confident he'll be able to communicate with the Indonesian.

"I do speak English actually! I paid my dues and spent time working as a scout abroad... and I always managed to make myself understood. I may not be perfectly fluent but I don't think other Italian coaches are that much better than me when they speak other languages abroad.

"I like to think I know where my place is at a club and what I should or shouldn't do to stay within my limits. I've never been the one who calls the club owners; it's them who call me and I'm available 24 hours a day. They call me because I work for them. I don't have to do anything. In 12 or 13 years of coaching I've always felt comfortable and done a good job and I think that's what matters to any employer. If Thohir calls me, I'll answer. For the time being I haven't noticed anything different. Branca and Ausilio were here yesterday and Moratti called. In real terms nothing has really changed for us yet."
