I wonder why these big clubs tend to sack successful coaches just bcos they don't win the Champions league ! Inter Milan is a huge team in Italy, but in reality- they didn't win a single league title since 1989 since Roberto Mancini took over. Now, they won 3 titles with him and they have forgotten about him. Now they r gonna eye for the Champions league. But, why can't they build a team with a coach who's won them titles after almost 2 decades? Beats me. Not that Mourinho is a bad coach. But, this is being really cruel to Mancini. It just reminds me of Real Madrid who became so successful that they dropped Vincente del Bosque bcos they wanted a cyclical change. And the whole world knows what happened to Real Madrid after Del Bosque left. I'm pretty sure Inter will follow the same path.

There is a lot a football manager has to do other than handle the main club. it can range from so many issues, from transfers to ticketing to handling the reserve side.... maybe be mancini too wanted to quit... Anyways Long Live Jose Mourinho

It would certainly be interesting to see how josephine maureen does at a club whose owner is rich but not filthy rich ala Roman.
True acid test of a manager who will have to work on a relatively shoe string budget as opposed to the bottomless wallet he had at his disposal at CSKA London.
