Inter Milan president Massimo Moratti has insisted that Claudio Ranieri will remain in charge of the club until the end of the season at least.
Ranieri's side have won just six Serie A matches during 2012, leading to suggestions that the Italian coach would be fired in the near future.
However, Morrati has offered his suppoer to Ranieri until the summer.
"I think that Ranieri will remain until the end of the season," Moratti told reporters.
Inter are currently eighth in the Serie A table, 22 points behind leaders and rivals AC Milan.
