Roberto Mancini said on Tuesday that he will resign as Inter Milan's coach after the season is over. He has been extremely successful at Inter but after his team lost in the Soccer Betting Champions League against Liverpool he made the announcement. "The next two and a half months will be my last as the manager of the team," Mancini said, "This is a decision that I had already taken and has nothing to do with the defeat to Liverpool."
Inter Milan leads Serie A by six points with 11 matches left. Inter has won the last two Italian league titles. Mancini became Inter’s manager in 2004 and led the team to the Italian Cup title in his first season at the helm. Many of the players were surprised by the announcement. "We have just been eliminated form the Champions League and it's a big delusion for everybody," Inter striker Julio Cruz said. Inter president Massimo Moratti did not have any comment.
Tuesday's match against Liverpool was another disappointing one for Inter as they had to play with 10 men for the last 40 minutes after Nicolas Burdisso was sent off. Fernando Torres scored a second-half goal and Liverpool won 1-0 and 3-0 on aggregate to advance. Inter also had to play the first leg with only 10 men for most of the match after Marco Materazzi was sent off.

Inter had many chances against Liverpool but couldn’t seem to get any of their shots down low. Far too many chances were sent over the goal. "It was a difficult match because Inter is strong, but with 10 players it was hard for them to look for the goal they needed," Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez said. "We are going through a good period at the moment, certainly better than Inter."
The team that Inter has to worry about in Serie A is AS Roma. They are just six points back and are playing well, having made it to the quarterfinals of the Champions League while Inter was knocked out. They have been getting great play out of Mirko Vucinic. This weekend Roma will host AC Milan in Serie A action while Inter Milan will host Palermo.
