Mancini, heavily linked with the Chelsea vacancy, looks to be on his way out at the San Siro less than a fortnight after delivering the club's third consecutive Serie A title.

The 43-year-old's agent, Giorgio De Giorgis said: "Roberto never expected it to end like this."

"As an outsider, I could rationally understand that something was not right, but that is the way things have gone," he added.

De Giorgis suggested on Tuesday night that Mancini had left the club following a 25-minute meeting with club president Massimo Moratti, and also claimed former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho had been lined up as Mancini's replacement.

He told Sportitalia television: "Roberto is very disappointed because he has not yet finished his job - he wanted to try and win even more league titles, and maybe even the Champions League.

"Now Mourinho will arrive and he has only got to repeat what has happened in the last few years.

"Roberto is now considering making a statement to avoid gossip and it should be a statement praising the president and those who worked with him. Certainly he is shocked and has taken it badly. I have spoken with him and he sounded quite down."

Reports in Italy suggest Mourinho arrived in Milan on Tuesday and may be presented as the club's new coach as early as Wednesday.

Mancini's departure would increase speculation linking him with the position at Stamford Bridge, vacated after Saturday's sacking of Avram Grant.
