Inter coach Jose Mourinho and sporting director Marco Branca are on the war path after a bitter dispute over the club's transfer policies.
The 'Special One' is uncomfortable with Inter's stance on the market. Sportmediaset claims Mourinho has been involved in a nasty spat with Branca where tempers flared over the plans totrim the size of the squad.
Mourinho wants to get rid of players in an attempt to enjoy a more managable squad, but Inter are not keen on sending out players on loan: it's here where the two men collided.
Reports suggest the coach demanded his club get rid of Hernan Crespo, Nicolas Burdisso, Marco Materazzi and Olivier Dacourt.
However, Branca disagreed. Inter are not in the mood to pay players wages if they go out on loan,and as well as this, the club will risk losing out when the players' contracts expire. In other words, he sells now, or does nothing.
Inter president Massimo Moratti will now have to put his foot down and intervene. The chief is unlikely to be impressed, he is still annoyed with Sunday's defeat and already made that clear earlier this week.
The instability behind the scenes are likely to affect the club on the pitch. Tensions around the Adriano saga have settled, but a new soap opera is about to begin.
