The Italian champions are said to lining Benitez up to replace Jose Mourinho who is expected to join Real Madrid after the Champions League final. However, Inter have strongly denied the story.
"We absolutely have had no contact with Benitez. Our coach is Jose Mourinho," said Inter's sporting director, Marco Branca.
Inter may not want to lose Mourinho but it is highly unlikely they haven't made contingency plans for his departure, and those plans seem to be Benitez.
