That the 'Special One' is the new manager of Inter Milan! The hugely successful Portuguese tactician was the red hot favourite to succeed Mancini after he was sacked by the club last week.And on Monday,Mourinho became the 13th coach in the Moratti (club president) era at Inter,signing a three-year contract with the Serie A champions to replace Roberto Mancini.
Mourinho's predecessor was the most successful Inter coach in the 14 years of Moratti's reign,winning no fewer than seven titles in four years,including three consecutive Serie A titles.But he was unable to provide the one trophy Moratti craves more than anything - the Champions League - and that will be the number one priority for Mourinho next season.Mourinho of course,has been out of work since September after being sacked by Chelsea following a bust-up too many with owner Roman Abramovich and a slow start to the Premier League season.The 45-year-old enjoyed a successful three-year spell in English football,helping Chelsea to win the Premier League and League Cup twice,the FA Cup and the Community Shield.He fail to win to the Champions League though with Chelsea but he did won it before with Porto.The former Porto boss has signed a three-year deal with the Serie A champions.
So the rumours were true after all.The Special One to be the new manager of Inter.I can't say how pleased and happy I am when I first heard this news yesterday.I first became his fan after he won the Champions League with Porto because he is a great manager.His CVs speak for itself,he is truly the Special One.I think everything is there for him at the club to take it to the next level,which is of course to win the Champions League.As much as I think Mancini has done a fantastic job since taking over,I dont think he was the right man to take us to the next level.But I still have some doubts about whether the decision to leave the club was his or Moratti's decision.Inter cited Mancini's announcement in the wake of their Champions League defeat to Liverpool on March 11 that he would step down at the end of the season had been a crucial factor.If you remember then,Mancini reversed his decision 24 hours later and went on to lead Inter to their third straight Serie A title
Nevertheless,after much speculation,his departure was confirmed on Thursday evening.Mancini's agent claimed after Tuesday's 25-minute meeting between the pair that his client had left the club and would be replaced by Mourinho.Now whether the club has decided to get Mourinho to replace Mancini before the season has ended,that we will never know.It seems like Mancini actually wanted to stay but maybe because the deal has been done a long time ago and the club has no other choice but to let Mancini go.It's all over now as far as I am concern and I am not just looking forward to what the future might bring.We already have a world class squad and now,a world class manager,so I expect great things to happen soon.
But for now,let us all enjoy the news and give a big welcome to the Special One at the club.Here wishing for a great future ahead with Mourinho's guidance and hopefully,he will win that elusive Champions League trophy just like he did with Porto before.
