Inter Milan secured their first trophy under coach Rafael Benitez with an easy victory over Congolese side TP Mazembe to win the Club World Cup in Abu Dhabi.
Samuel Eto'o set up Goran Pandev's opener before adding the second himself with Joseph Biabiany's late third wrapping up the victory.
Unfancied Mazembe beat Brazil's Internacional to reach the final but never threatened another upset.
Dioko Kaluyituka had some good chances but could not find a way through.
Inter Milan president Massimo Moratti has refused to comment on the future of the club's manager Rafael Benitez.
Benitez led Inter to Club World Cup victory on Saturday with a 3-0 win over TP Mazembe before urging the Italian side's board to back him.
Reports on Monday suggested Inter and Benitez had parted company but the club insisted these were just rumours.
"I prefer not to talk today [Monday] to avoid the risk of creating controversies," said Moratti.
Manuel Garcia Quilon represents Benitez and denied his client and Inter had parted company.
"Benitez is under contract with Inter and the situation is the same as it was before," he said.
"Benitez said what he said and he does not need to explain himself further. I have not been contacted by anyone."
