I have full confidence in Benitez – Moratti

When interviewed outside his office by the press Moratti said, “I have read it in the papers, these stories are inventions and you [the press] have invented it,” he said.

Moratti continued “There isn’t any traumatic decision. It’s a project that we have chosen and it’s going forward.”

Regarding Benitez, Moratti said “There is full confidence in Benitez like I said the other day. You can't take away the fact that I was annoyed after a game like Sunday's, but this doesn't change the club's projects.”

Sky Italia also spoke to Luciano Spalletti regarding the coaching rumors. “I have never been contacted by Inter. I have a contract here.” Spalletti said

“I will continue to be Zenit's Coach until they sack me or a new situation develops.

“There were never any doubts that Massimo Moratti would show his full confidence in Benitez.

“Moratti is a serious person. At this present moment in the season the team has paid dearly for a series of injuries.

“Moratti is not the kind of person who turns his back on you after two months.”
