Jose in Inter talks - Reports
Former Chelsea chief poised for return
Last updated: 28th March 2008
Mourinho: Set for return
Jose Mourinho has been in talks with Internazionale about a return to management, according to his personal advisor Eladio Parames.
The Portuguese has been out of the game since leaving Chelsea last September after his relationship with the Premier League club's board broke down.
It has been reported that Mourinho has been in Italy on Friday in order to engage in discussions with Serie A champions Inter about becoming their coach next season.
"Jose has left for Milan for talks with Inter's directors," Parames told Reuters.
Current incumbent Roberto Mancini's future at Inter has been the subject of intense speculation ever since his announcement that he would step-down from his role at the end of the season, following his side's UEFA Champions League elimination at the hands of Liverpool earlier this season.
He retracted his statement the following day but it would now appear his unexpected announcement may have sealed his fate.
Having made no secret of his desire to manage in Italy or Spain upon leaving Chelsea, it would come as little surprise if Mourinho were to take the reins at Inter.
Mourinho's hugely successful spell with Chelsea saw him deliver two Premier League titles, two League Cups and an FA Cup.

I think it will be interesting to see Jose back in coaching. We've missed him so much. But I wish he could have chosen another English team instead of Inter. But all in all let's wait and see if he can deliver at San Siro next season.

Jose will make Inter very successful. He has a tremendous record second to none, with his achievements at Porto then at Chelsea. He is very professional and loyal to his players, who is able to get more than the best from them. It was a huge mistake for Chelsea to let him go. In fact, they should swallow their pride for the best interests of the club to try and get him to rejoin. However, if Inter do get him, he will make them one of the best clubs in Europe.

Great news to hear he'll be back soon.Although Im a Reds fan the man is brilliant for the game.Endless quotes,great charisma, the PL just hasnt been the same without him. Plus it means Sir Alex will be able to have a nice bottle of plonk with him after we knock them out of the Champos League. Lets all raise a glass to the "Special 1".

Although his achievements with Porto was the ultimate underdog success story, I still think he walked into a 'dunker' job at Chelsea, with the team and funds ready to easily seal the Premier League and all of his success. A monkey could walk into Inter and win Serie A with it's current condition, our 4th placed team in the Premiership comfortably dispatched the high flyer from that division. Take something more challenging Mourinho, go somewhere like Newcastle or Athletico Madrid and show us what you're made of!

Excellent news for Inter if he does get back in. Hope mourinho's back in the prem soon. However i do feel that he'll have to wait until sometime next year before he's in charge.
