Jose Mourinho Joins Inter Milan
June 3, 2008
Jose Mourinho has agreed to join Inter Milan, the current Serie A champions. He was paraded at a press conference in Milan this morning.
Mourinho revealed he was signed a 3 year deal, which is his first job since leaving Chelsea in late 2007. Mourinho enters as one Italian legend leaves - Roberto Mancini was sacked, which some fans have called a bizarre move given that they won the Serie A three seasons in a row. It seems European failure led to Mancini’s demise, with inter going out in the last 16 of the Champions League to Liverpool.
Mourinho has had some success in Europe, and will look to continue that with Inter Milan. He previously guided the unfavoured FC Porto to a UEFA Cup triumph in 2003, then amazingly went one better in 2004 by lifting the Champions League.
The rumours have already started, with Inter Milan now being linked to Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba. Drogba has been widely believed to be leaving anyway, but losing Lampard would be a huge blow to Chelsea.
