Inter Milan boss Jose Mourinho has dismissed speculation that he is set to walk out of the club. Rumours have spread this week that Mourinho will leave Inter if they fail to win the UEFA Champions League this season, despite the club being odds-on favourites to win a fourth straight Serie A crown.

However, Mourinho has laughed off such concerns and said he could not determine how long he would stay in Italy.

"Me, leave Italy? In football you never know, you can stay two, three, four or ten years, it all depends," he told a press conference in Milan ahead of Saturday's trip to Genoa. "But one thing's for sure, I'm not trying to provoke a change of coach."

Am I fed up with Italian football? No.
The 'Special One' give his verdict.

Mourinho was questioned about his future in Italy because in midweek he launched a tirade against Italian football and the dramas surrounding it, particularly the manner in which every refereeing decision is analysed and reanalysed in the press.

However, he reacted in typical Mourinho fashion on Friday. "Am I fed up with Italian football? No, the only adjective I would use to explain how I feel right now is not angry but proud, proud of myself," he said. "I'm neither angry nor tense, that's your feeling. I like to change, sometimes I change my hairstyle.

"Once I cut it all off, now I'm letting it grow out. Once I turned up with a long beard. But right now I'm absolutely perfect. I like to change but I'm not angry."
