Inter Milan coach Jose Mourinho to bring a 'new philosophy' to the San Siro

With Jose Mourinho now installed as Roberto Mancini's replacement at Inter Milan, questions are being raised over the future of the squad, with some significant signings expected to be made in the near future after the Portuguese vowed to "change the football philosophy" of the club.


Mourinho's appointment is a statement of intent from the club's owner Massimo Moratti, reinforcing the belief that the club's emphasis next season will be placed on success in Europe.


New philosophy: Mourinho is expected to make changes
As such, Mourinho is believed to be looking to bring key changes to a squad who, while claiming the last three Serie A titles, have failed to stamp their authority on the Champions League.

Moratti has already moved to reassure players and fans that he would "like to change very little of this squad which has won so much," but Mourinho said in his first press conference as Inter manager today that he is looking for a break from the previous regime.

"I need to start a new cycle after that of Mancini, who I consider a great coach, but I am a different tactician," he said. "I want to change the football philosophy of the team, this is my challenge."

Personnel will be a key feature of that new philosophy. Mourinho will begin by making changes in the backroom staff with his right-hand man Rui Farias, known as "mini-Mourinho", Silvino and Andrei Villas Boas - who all served under him at Stamford Bridge - following him to Milan.

advertisementWith regards to player changes, Mourinho has been linked with several of his former charges at Chelsea. Didier Drogba, who flourished under the Portuguese, and who has recently fallen foul of the Chelsea faithful with his suspect attitude, is a likely import, as is defender Ricardo Carvalho.

Michael Essien was being linked with a move, but he signed a new five-year contract at Stamford Bridge only 12 months ago. Mourinho will almost certainly approach Frank Lampard, but whether he will be successful is unknown as Chelsea have moved quickly to secure Lampard by offering the midfielder £130,000-a-week.

As for the players currently at Inter, Moratti has already underlined his promise of continuity by giving a new £9.5 million-a-year contract to Zlatan Ibrahimovic, ending suggestions that the Swede was on the verge of departure.

However, the Italian media have suggested that some of Inter's veterans, of which there are many, are likely to depart. Patrick Vieira is one, Luis Figo another, although 35-year-old Figo, for his part, is understood to be keen to stay on at the club now that Mourinho is at the helm.

The futures of Italy's World Cup-winning defender Marco Materazzi, Brazilian goalkeeper Julio Cesar and teenager Mario Balotelli, are less secure. Materazzi will look elsewhere if not given first-team football, while 17-year-old Balotelli has said: "If I don't play, then I will leave. It is as simple as that."

Hernan Crespo, currently on loan in Brazil and who failed to secure a consistent first-team place under the Portuguese whilst at Chelsea, has spoken out in favour of his new manager. The Argentina forward said: "When I was at Chelsea, I used to think Inter were the right team for Mourinho.

"He does things the right way and he always explains the situation. He has respect for players and people but just because I know him, it doesn't mean my place in the team is guaranteed. As for Mancini's sacking, I was not surprised

Of all the playerz u mentioned only twocan really be remembered for Inter. I doubt u have been an ardent follower of the club. Y didnt u support when legends like Bergomi,Cannavaro,Ronaldo,Zamorano,West,Seedorf,Djorkaeff were in their prime there??
My thoughts exactly.I doubt these promoters are true Nerazzuri fans. Just like 80% of Chelsea Nigeria fans, I rest my case for now

reh reh reh rah rah rah!!!!!!!!!!
