New Delhi: Inter have revealed that coach Jose Mourinho has signed a new contract with the club, expiring June 2012, through their official website.
Real Madrid presidential candidate Florentino Perez has allegedly been pursuing the services of the Portuguese tactician, trying to lure him away from the San Siro after just one year.
However, after the coach has won the Serie A title in his first attempt, Nerazzurri President Massimo Moratti has offered 'Mou' an improved deal to ensure he remains with the Italian outfit.
"In response to the wish of the coach to continue the project started together a year ago, a wish welcomed with pleasure by the club as a sign of attachment and winning spirit, FC Internazionale announces the extension of Jose Mourinho's contract until 30 June 2012," read the brief statement on inter.it.
It is rumoured that his new contract includes a pay raise that sees him earn €10 million per season. The former Chelsea boss' previous contract expired one year earlier, in 2011.
This move will likely end all speculation that Mourinho will join Madrid this summer.
