'The Special One' confirmed as new Inter boss

Jose Mourinho Internazionale


It's officially official - ex-Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has been confirmed as the new boss of Serie A champions Internazionale.

The signing of the 'Special One' has been one of the worst kept secrets in football with the colourful Portugese continually linked to the post since departing Chelsea in September last year. After the Serie A champions finally parted company with Roberto Mancini last week, rumours that the Portuguese boss would be signed up by the club went into overdrive.


Mourinho has signed a three-year deal at the San Siro worth a reported £22.2million and will be charged with winning the Champions League for the Italian giants with the help of a backroom staff including Rui Farias, Silvino, Andrei Villas Boas and assistant coach Giuseppe Baresi, the former Director of the Youth Academy.

The ex-Chelsea boss is tipped to raid his former club for Michael Essien, Frank Lampard, Didier Drogba and Ricardo Carvalho plus Samuel Eto’o and Deco from Barcelona. With a rumoured £100m transfer kitty, it's possible that he could sign ALL those players.

“Il Speciale Uno” will be unveiled by the club at a special press conference today.

UEFA CL: Liverpool through to Quarter Finals

March 12th 2008 04:05
UEFA Champions League


Tue, Mar 11:
UEFA Champions League (Round of 16 2ND Leg)

Inter Milan 0 - 1 Liverpool

SUMMARY:

2004-05 Champion's League winners Liverpool are through to the quarter finals of the 07/08 competition after a convincing 3-0 (agg) win over Serie A leaders Internazionale.

After taking a 2-0 lead in the first leg at Anfield, Liverpool visited the Italian giants' own backyard to win 1-0 at the San Siro courtesy of a brilliant Fernando Torres goal to make it four English sides in the last eight of Europe's premier club competition.



Inter had yet another player sent off after Nicolas Burdisso picked up two offences and was given his marching orders in the 50th minute. The visitors, who had been playing beautifully up to that point, seized the opportunity to take the game beyond the home side with Spanish sensation Fernando Torres scoring his 26th goal of the season in the 63rd minute

Receiving the ball from Fabio Aurelio with his back to goal, Torres turned and unleashed in one swift motion to send the ball in the right hand corner. From then on, it was game over as the Reds snuffed out whatever little chance Inter had to claim the 12th European Cup quarter-final place in their history.

Another reason for England's failure bites the dust

February 20th 2008 07:52
Italy World Champions


There are too many overseas players in the English Premier League. We don't have enough of our players playing at the top level. Our players don't get to play Champions League.

These are all familiar cries in the rush to find excuses for the failure of the English national team. I have to admit that I've been drawn towards that argument at times, and I can see that it has some merit.

Last night however, for me, the argument fell apart at the seams. Inter played at Liverpool in the Champions League, and they had only one Italian player in their ranks. There were several South Americans and a Swede, but only one Italian.

Inter are eleven points clear at the top of Serie A and are clearly the best team in Italy. None of their country's top players play for them.

I look at AC Milan, European champions, and I see some top Italian players but I see Serginho, Kaka, Dida and Cafu from Brazil, Simic from Croatia, and the great Clarence Seedorf from Holland.

All of these 'foreign' players at the two Milan clubs must be holding back the chances of the Italian national team, mustn't they? Oh no, Italy are the World Champions.

Looks like several people, including me, had better try to think of a different excuse.
