Inter Milan have insisted Tuesday's meeting between president Massimo Moratti and coach Roberto Mancini was "entirely professional" and have threatened legal action if reports continue to the contrary.

Reports in the media suggested there had been a breakdown in communication between the pair with Mancini's agent claiming afterwards he had left the club and would be replaced by Jose Mourinho.

But a club statement read: "What has been written or reported...does not correspond to the facts," the statement read.

"In fact, the meeting was absolutely professional, done in a correct manner, and the coach never allowed himself to show a lack of respect towards president Massimo Moratti."

The Italian champions have yet to officially comment on Mancini's reported departure from the San Siro but claimed there had been some incorrect reporting on the situation and have threatened further action should it continue.
