Pirelli boss Marco Tronchetti Provera admits Inter Milan coach Jose Mourinho has surprised him this season.

"Mourinho surprised me with his leadership, even if sometimes it was not pleasant to be honest. He is wanted by many clubs, but this is part of the game.

"He wants to go forward with Inter and achieve other successes, it seems to me that he is very well placed in both the club and with this group of players."
