Inter President Erick Thohir says Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho is ‘The One’ for fans, but backs Roberto Mancini.
Mourinho coached the Nerazzurri to the Champions League and two Serie A titles between 2008 and 2010 but has been under pressure at Stamford Bridge this season.
However, Thohir believes that Mancini is the ‘right man’ for the club and refuses to rule out a title challenge this season.
“Mourinho? For all the Nerazzurri fans he’s The One,” he told TV One.

“Mourinho? For all the Nerazzurri fans he’s The One,” he told TV One.
“But we agreed a project with Mancini and we consider him to be the right man.
“He’s committed to rebuilding Inter in the next two or three years and I think that the results are pretty satisfactory.
“The Scudetto? It’s an open title race.”
