Man Utd boss Mourinho raiding Sampdoria for new coach

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho is ready to add to his coaching staff.

The Daily Mail says Mourinho has lined up former Inter Milan coach Stefano Rapetti for his staff at Manchester United.

Rapetti is leaving his post as fitness coach of Italian Serie A side Sampdoria to link up with Mourinho, who is reshuffling his backroom team following the departure of Rui Faria.

Mourinho will promote Michael Carrick and United U18s coach Kieran McKenna to his first team set-up but also wants Rapetti.

The 41-year-old Italian was in charge of Inter Milan's U19s when Mourinho arrived at Inter but was promoted to work on fitness and rehabilitation with the first team.
