Inter Milan president Massimo Moratti has handed underfire coach Roberto Mancini a vote of confidence.
Jose Mourinho, Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez and Fiorentina's Cesare Prandelli have all been linked with Mancini's job in the last 24 hours.
But Moratti said: "All the talk about Mancini is rubbish and I hope that it does not affect him adversely. Mancini must stay calm because he will still be the coach next season.
"Despite what you say in your reports there has been nothing, these are all things to deny but I do not have the patience to do so."
