Chelsea legend Gianfranco Zola says Inter Milan have pulled off the signing of the summer in the appointment of new coach Jose Mourinho.

"I think the signing of the summer has been a Coach," Zola told Gazzetta dello Sport.

"Mourinho was a great buy, as he is an artist of football. I know him well and the secret is to get past the first impression. All that Special One stuff is bluster, it's all a game.

"Mourinho loves to amaze people, but in his work he is like a bulldozer. He'll do very well at Inter."
