GOOD LUCK JOSE MOURINHO!

JOSE MOURINHO was finally confirmed as Inter Milan’s new manager on Monday.

The ex-Chelsea chief will be unveiled after signing a three-year deal worth £22.2million.

And he will immediately target at least FOUR Chelsea — Michael Essien, Frank Lampard, Didier Drogba and Ricardo Carvalho.

Mourinho’s backroom team from Stamford Bridge will join him at the San Siro, although his assistant will be Inter’s Academy boss Giuseppe Baresi.

A club statement said: “FC Internazionale announces the arrival of Jose Mourinho.

''The Portuguese manager has signed a three-year contract and will work in the new project of the champions of Italy with his collaborators Rui Farias, Silvino and Andre Villas Boas.

“The assistant manager will be Giuseppe Baresi who up to now has been director of the Youth Academy.”

Mourinho’s appointment has been expected since president Massimo Moratti axed Roberto Mancini a week ago.

The billionaire oil-magnate will hand Mourinho a £100m transfer kitty in a bid to win the Champions League.

Other confirmed targets include Barcelona duo Samuel Eto’o and Deco — who was Mourinho’s midfield general when they won the Champions League with Porto.

Deco’s Portugal team-mate, winger Ricardo Quaresma is also in Mourinho’s sights.

The ex-Chelsea chief has been having intensive lessons in Italian for weeks and is odds on to tell the local press he is “Il Speciale Uno”. His teacher Gianluca Miraglia said: “He has made rapid progress and is already able to express himself in Italian.”

Chelsea will fight Mourinho’s attempts to prise away their stars — and are set to launch their own £15m bid to nab Sporting Lisbon ace Joao Moutinho from under Manchester United’s noses.

Owner Roman Abramovich is reluctant to pay a £20m get-out clause in the Portugal star’s contract — although he might have to if he impresses at Euro 2008.

United have been following Moutinho closely all season and were considering whether to make a move this summer or wait one more season.

But Chelsea’s interest could force their hand
