It was announced Monday that former Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho was appointed the new head coach at reigning Italian Serie A champion Inter Milan, replacing Roberto Mancini, who was given the boot last week despite Inter's third successive league title.
The Serie A champions finally parted company with Mancini last week after months of speculation and the Portuguese boss, a Champions League winner with Porto in 2004, has signed a three-year deal at the San Siro.
Mourinho will be unveiled tomorrow at a press conference at 11.30am local time.
A statement on Inter's website, www.inter.it, 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.'
Good luck to Jose. Three straight Scudettos turned out not to be good enough for Robert Mancini. The Nerozurri have had problems in the knockout stages of Europe's Champions League.
