â€œMourinho has shown he has two massive things down below,â€ said Gattuso.

â€œHe can speak better Italian than me and I was born here.”

“He is a great coach and he will be good here, it’s a shame he has gone to Inter.”

Remember though, he doesn’t want to be called “the Special One” anymore.

I would love Mourinho to meet with Wenger in the Champions League Group stages. No love lost between these two men. Mourinho once famously (or infamously) described Wenger as a “voyeur” for his interest in all things Chelsea, and almost found himself in the law courts as a result. Wenger has never forgotten.

Benitez, like Wenger, had a very difficult relationship with “the Special Mouth”. It would be super fun to see Mourinho have to pit his wits once more against Benitez in the knock-out stages. Benitez is the man who delivered more pain to Mourinho than any other in his managerial career, and Liverpool are the club more than any other who made the greatest contribution to Mourinho ultimately getting the sack (er…, sorry, what’s the expresssion? Oh yes, “termination of contract by mutual consent”!).

Welcome back, Jose. The world has been a quieter place without you.

In an interesting move, Giuseppe “Beppe” Baresi, who managed the Inter youth sector, will be his second in command.

Apparently, according to Inter web site, Mr. Mourinho will also be assisted by Rui Farias, Silvino and Andrei Villas Boas who were part of his back room staff at Chelsea.

DWL, Mourihno has problems with chapions league, what world are u from? He won the champs league with PORTO, beating the likes of manU along the way. He never won with chelsea but he reach the semis nearly every year, I would hardly call that a problem.
He is a great manager, and both he and inter want to win the champs league we will all have to wait and c if he can do it.

Jose will be great for Inter from a League standpoint. But he has trouble with the Champions League tournament, and I don’t expect anything more from him than what he failed to accomplish with Chelsea.

One hell of a manager for the most part though, you can’t argue with the loyalty he commands from his players.
