MILAN (AFP): AC Milan has cleared the way for top Italian coach Fabio Capello to join city rivals Inter Milan.

Capello is still under contract with AC Milan despite being axed as coach last summer after failing to stop the club's dismal run of results.

AC Milan president Silvio Berlusconi is now willing to free him, should Inter Milan decide to sack Gigi Simoni after their poor start to the season.

Berlusconi said: "I have a great deal of respect for people who behave properly and I believe in giving everyone an opportunity. I think that if the possibility arose for Capello, Milan would not deny him it."
