Inter Milan president Massimo Moratti admits he'd love to bring Sinisa Mihajlovic back to the club.

The Catania coach has been mentioned as a replacement for the departing Jose Mourinho.

"Mihajlovic is a Coach of great character and he also learns quickly," said Moratti on Sky Italia television.

"He is respected by the players, many of whom are his friends. He is much admired and our rapport has remained very good."

Current Catania boss Mihajlovic is the favourite, especially as he was assistant manager under Roberto Mancini and was in Madrid on Saturday as Inter's guest.

"In terms of likeability and respect, I would certainly love to choose Mihajlovic, but in all honesty I haven't made a decision yet."
