The Special One Landed in Milan



Jose Mourinho is back in management! The self-claimed Special One landed in Milan to take the Internazionale job after signing a three-year contract with Inter. Mourinho will replace Roberto Mancini, who may go the other way round to Chelsea to replace Avram Grant.

There has been talks for quite some time that Jose Mourinho will replace Mancini at Inter, who despite winning 3 straight Scudetto, failed to shine in European Champions League, and when city rival AC Milan won the Champions League last season, it has become bitter to swallow for the Inter chairman and board.

Mourinho's pedigree in Champions League has been impressive, despite his only win came when he is at Porto. In his time with Chelsea, they have reach the latter stages of the competition. Mourinho's arrival may also spurred the transfer market, and attract more stars to the Serie A.


On the other hand, if Roberto Mancini is appointed as Chelsea's coach, Italy should be proud that their coaches have been in well demand. Chelsea is also reported to be chasing Milan's Carlo Ancelotti. This is a sign that the World's Best Football League is recognising the ability of the Italian coaches, who they once deemed to boring!
