Inter Milan president Massimo Moratti has paid tribute to coach Jose Mourinho after they won the Scudetto over the weekend.

"We always had players who are very physically strong, but on top of that this season I have seen the great character and professionalism," said the patron.

"Mourinho helped them start from scratch on a psychological level, as it is not easy to win for a fourth straight title.

"I'd like to see what he invents next season to get them hungry again and raring to go."

Moratti also revealed that Mou gave him a gift to celebrate the Scudetto, which arrived on his 64th birthday.

"It was a lovely gesture, as before the game he gave me a watch. It is a lovely watch, but a very difficult one to read!

"It's terribly complicated, but I'm sure I'll get the hang of it. Mourinho is a very generous person."

The president added: "With a balanced transfer market that means selling a few players, we can hopefully achieve all our objectives."
