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.''

If i were Jose, I wouldn't bother myself striving for the signatures of the Chelsea trio. This would have added credits to my integrity as someone who doesn't react out of emotion.

Most of the things people are saying are in bad faith. Joe Mourinho was a good Coach at Chelsea and he did well. It is good to give honour to whom it is due at least at a particular time. A lot of politics of personality but we refuse to face the fact on ground. I don't envy Man United but look at the pace and the determination of Chelsea brought about by Joe Mourinho. He has instilled that determintaion and discipline in Chelsea and that is what we should cherish.

Maurinho welcome to one of the hottest leagues in the world. It is left onto you to prove once again that you are the special one. Good luck but please don't take DIDI and Frank away from Chelsea
no matter what, mourinho you are a great person. but try togive chelsea last word b4 you take any player from them. we miss u....
jose, please please please raid chelsea for the drog, but not ricky or frank!
Jose Seria A is different than Premier League. However, as a Chelsea fan I believe on your capacities, specifically, I remind all those times when you won the games against M. Utd and Arsenal. Beware from Moratti.
Thats great,now Jose,you have left chelsea,i think now we are nothing rather than mere club,not a special at all.We miss you Jose so much and if it were me you could have stayed in chelsea forever.I think now i will shift to inter due to you because no more chelsea,not unless frank former barcelona coach comes to chelsea and revive the club back.The family of chelsea love you and miss you so much,by Amogustine China
jose move on,you are such a great guy change inter like you did chelsea. i know you can do great thing any where any time,as for DD,LAMP and CALVAHO, its thier choice if there will move with you,no harm in trial if its your choice.

Jose beware of the Morrattis, and the Angel............
take Drogba, get Anelka free is what I say
Salute! You have the Power Jose!You can do much with Inter..Best of Luck..
Jose be careful with the sea boys. Time and season differs, environment and atmosphere differs. Outstanding people move with time...prove your self and develop new ball boys and leave Calvs & Lamps but please take Drogba free of Charge, I will pay the balance to blues account in Niger-PHC,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Deegogo
DROGBA can go if he wishes, as he said he's not liked Chelsea since he signed for us. his heart is not at Chelsea 100%
Mourinho you are great.
Jose, you are not only an extraordinary coach, but you excitment to the game. Best of luck in the new job.
