Inter confirm Mourinho
-
Inter have finally captured Jose Mourinho who replaces Roberto Mancini the club have announced.
-
JOSE MOURINHO will raid Chelsea after agreeing a three-year deal with Inter Milan. Didier Drogba, Frank Lampard and Michael Essien are all top targets for the new Inter boss.
The Special One guided the Blues to five major trophies during his time at Stamford Bridge. And Drogba and Co could jump at the chance to join their former boss at the the Serie A champions. Mourinho replaces Roberto Mancini, who was sacked by the Italian giants last week.
A statement on the club's official website said: "Internazionale announce the arrival of Jose Mourinho. “The Portuguese coach has signed a three-year contract and will work alongside Rui Farias, Silvino and Andrei Villas Boas.
“The assistant coach will be Giuseppe Baresi. "We thank Roberto Mancini and his staff for the success obtained in four seasons as the leader of the team. "All of Internazionale has the great pleasure to welcome Jose Mourinho and his coaches."

Blues fear Mourinho
JOSE MOURINHO was finally confirmed as Inter Milan’s new manager on Monday.
And he will immediately target at least FOUR Chelsea — Michael Essien, Frank Lampard, Didier Drogba and Ricardo Carvalho. Mourinho’s backroom team from Stamford Bridge will join him at the San Siro, although his assistant will be Inter’s Academy boss Giuseppe Baresi.
Mourinho’s appointment has been expected since president Massimo Moratti axed Roberto Mancini a week ago. The billionaire oil-magnate will hand Mourinho a £100m transfer kitty in a bid to win the Champions League.
Other confirmed targets include Barcelona duo Samuel Eto’o and Deco — who was Mourinho’s midfield general when they won the Champions League with Porto. Deco’s Portugal team-mate, winger Ricardo Quaresma is also in Mourinho’s sights.
The ex-Chelsea chief has been having intensive lessons in Italian for weeks and is odds on to tell the local press he is “Il Speciale Uno”.
Chelsea will fight Mourinho’s attempts to prise away their stars — and are set to launch their own £15m bid to nab Sporting Lisbon ace Joao Moutinho from under Manchester United’s noses.
Owner Roman Abramovich is reluctant to pay a £20m get-out clause in the Portugal star’s contract — although he might have to if he impresses at Euro 2008.
United have been following Moutinho closely all season and were considering whether to make a move this summer or wait one more season.
But Chelsea’s interest could force their hand.
