Inter Milan coach Roberto Mancini is poised to leave the club after coaching it to three straight Serie A titles, unofficial sources said after the manager met owner Massimo Moratti on Tuesday.
Asked to comment on the report, Mancini's agent Giorgio De Giorgis told ANSA: ''It sounds like it's all over''.
He said the coach had not been expecting any bad news from his long-awaited talk with his boss.
Neither Mancini nor Moratti spoke to the press after the 20-minute meeting.
Mancini's departure has been the subject of widespread rumours and repeated denials - the latest from his agent on Monday.
Former Chelsea boss Jose' Mourinho has been widely tipped to take over.
Speculation over Mancini's future has been rife since Inter's Champions League elimination by Liverpool in March when the coach unexpectedly said he was planning to leave the club at the end of the season.
Mancini's quick U-turn did little to stop the rumours.
Portuguese news reports say Mourinho has already signed a three-year contract and has been learning Italian for months.
