Mourinho: Bringing the Blues to Inter?
(Soccer365.com) Jose Mourinho has been named Inter Milan's new coach - and is expected to raid Chelsea for Didier Drogba, Frank Lampard and Ricardo Carvalho.
The Italian champions have handed the former Stamford Bridge boss a three-year contract - and also announced that he will be assisted by Giuseppe Baresi at the San Siro.
The move had been long anticipated and comes after former coach Roberto Mancini was sacked last week.
Mourinho will be unveiled on Tuesday at a press conference and a statement on Inter's website confirmed: "Internazionale announce the arrival of Jose Mourinho.
"The Portuguese coach has signed a three-year contract and will work alongside Rui Farias, Silvino and Andrei Villas Boas.
"The assistant coach will be Giuseppe Baresi.''
It continued: "Thanking Roberto Mancini and his staff for the success obtained in four seasons as the leader of the team, all of Internazionale has the great pleasure to welcome Jose Mourinho and his coaches.''

why doesnt mourinho just buy all of chelsea or try re-naming inter to chelsea.carvalho makes no sense b/c they have materazzi,naicon,maxwell,chivu,cordoba,etc. on the defense already and carvalho is not that good and he is as slow as molasses.lampard would be a good fit in the midfield.drogba isnt necessary either with all the forwards they have already but he is a great player no question about it.
