    • FIGO: I WILL LEAVE IF MANCINI STAYS

       

      Luis Figo has admitted he will leave Inter Milan if Roberto Mancini remains as coach for next season. The 35-year-old, who joined the Italian champions three seasons ago, has struggled to win a place in the team under Mancini and will look to move on if he continues as coach.

      "If Internazionale get a new manager, I will have more incentive to carry on playing, otherwise it will be impossible", he said in Bucharest, where he was attending a charity game hosted by former Romania stars Gheorghe Popescu and Gheorghe Hagi.

      Figo admitted he could have performed better this season, but insisted he was fit enough to continue playing. He added: "I did not have a pleasant season. I acknowledge I could have done more, despite the injuries I suffered and the operation. "I am in the condition to play for another season."

      Figo also revealed he would like former Chelsea boss - and fellow Portuguese - Jose Mourinho to take over at the San Siro. Asked if he would like the one-time Porto coach to come to Inter, Figo replied: "Absolutely, yes".

    • Petty ultimatums. Ageing player who has seen the best of his days gone by issuing puny threats against a manager who has won two Scudettos in a row (excluding the one which was handed to them when Juve was relegated) is laughable. Why can't footballers act more old-school professionally?

    • He is already a useless player thats why Mancini drop him for most of the season... Of course he will say he would quit if Mancini stays lah, his 1 yr contract about to be over in a month time, don't know if they will even offer him a new one yr deal or not if Mancini stays... But base on this season's Mancini probably won't even offer him a new deal...

      So better for him to say this now then get "release" by Inter... At least he can say he left them rather than they didn't want him anymore... Like that still may have better value... lol

      Got to QPR lah...
