Smashing the headlines: Jose Mourinho has signed for Inter Milan as the new Manager.
No word where Mancini's going next. But, that was expected. News is, Mourinho's gonna get a 100M Euro transfer fund.
And that's for the Chelsea players he might be swooping for. But still, he says he'll remain a fan of the club.
What's funny is he's with a former Chelsea player he wasn't in good terms with ages ago. Hernan Crespo. And now, he doesn't want to be called "The Special One".

While Morratti is having problems explaining the decision, AC Milan have other problems to take care of. Skipper Paolo Maldini is still undecided in his talks for a new contract.

Speaking of managers, it looks like Chelsea will delay announcements of the new manager, with shortlisted candidates supposed to pass through an interview first. More or less, it's gonna be after EURO 2008.
Hank Ten Cate has been offered a job at Panathinaikos, while Steve Clarke remains.

With the transfer season opening, it looks like a lot of players are catching the eyes of managers.

Preparations are ready, and it looks like Dimitar Berbatov could go as high as 30M. 20 year old Karim Benzema could smash Man United's transfer record. Ricardo Quaresma might join Inter under fellow Portuguese Mourinho.

Outside club football, EURO 2008 is heating up. Netherlands and Italy have lost Ryan Babel and Fabio Cannavaro, respectively. For more news, visit http://en.euro2008.uefa.com/

The matches start June 7, with the finals hosted on June 29 at the Ernst Happel, Vienna. I'm still rooting for the Netherlands. Or France.


And again, I'm thinking Thaksin Shinawatra doesn't know what he's doing. First, effing up the board after buying Man City, now trying to buy Ronaldinho and offering a £200k-a-week contract.

On the other side, David Beckham is telling Cristiano Ronaldo to stay at Man U.

Busy week, but Mourinho makes the headlines.
