Inter Milan powerbroker Marco Tronchetti Provera is adamant coach Jose Mourinho will be staying.

The Pirelli boss says it's critical for Inter's future that Mourinho is not lured away.

"The victory against Chelsea marked this time of transition," said Tronchetti. "I believe there is much, much more to Mourinho: his seriousness, his absolute professionalism and character that led him to seek ever more challenging targets, without being intimidated by unfavorable situations.

"I am a fan. I say Mourinho must stay forever!"
