Inter Milan have refused to comment on reports they want Chelsea boss Antonio Conte to replace the sacked Stefano Pioli.
Reports in Italy say the Chinese-backed club are prepared to offer Conte £250,000 a week if he leaves after just one season at Stamford Bridge.
Pioli was dismissed on Tuesday after six months as head coach.
And Inter statement read: “Inter thanks Stefano and his team for the dedication and hard work carried out at the club over the last six months in what has proven to be a difficult season.
“The club will begin planning now for the next season.”
Former Italy boss Conte, 47, managed Inter’s Serie A rivals Juventus from 2011 to 2014.
