They have only just appointed ex-Juventus star Stefano Piolo, after they dismissed previous boss Frank de Boer after their 1-0 loss to Sampdoria.

He becomes their ninth manager since the Red Devils manager left to go to Real Madrid, and has signed a deal to last until the summer of 2018.

Simeone played for the Nerazzurri between 1997-99, and picked up a UEFA Cup winners medal.

When asked by a journalist for 'Telelombardio' about his future, the 46-year-old didn't deny the speculation surrounding him.

Smiling, he said: "Inter? You never know."

What we do know is that Simeone will not be leaving Madrid before the 2018 campaign, as he wants to guide his club to at least a season in their new stadium that opens in 2017.

He recently won the 'Miguel Munoz award' which is given by the Spanish newspaper Marca for the best manager in La Liga.

Simeone won it for narrowly missing out on the title last season by three points, eventually finishing third behind Barcelona and Real Madrid.

The Madrid side have been transformed since he took the helm back in 2011, establishing themselves as one of Europe's strongest sides.
