(adds detail, background)

LISBON, March 28 (Reuters) - Former Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho travelled to Italy on Friday for talks about a job with Inter Milan, said his personal adviser Eladio Parames.

"Jose has left for Milan for talks with Inter's directors," Parames told Reuters without giving further details.

Earlier this month, Inter coach Roberto Mancini said he wanted to quit the Serie A champions at the end of the season only to reverse his decision the following day.

On Thursday, Inter owner Massimo Moratti laughed off speculation he was lining up a replacement for Mancini.

"There is all this stuff to deny but I no longer have the patience to do it," he told reporters.

An Inter spokesman did not deny Friday's reports but said Moratti was not in Milan and reiterated the owner's comments about being fed up of denying rumours.

Mourinho has been linked with a host of top European clubs since his spell with Chelsea came to an end in September when the Premier League club said their relationship with the Portuguese had "broken down".
