Italian Federation chief Abete: We NEED Inter Milan coach Mourinho

Italian football is now rallying around Inter Milan coach Jose Mourinho.

After months of battling against local football identities, Mourinho is receiving support from the very top after his Champions League victory over Chelsea.

Italian Federation president Giancarlo Abete says the local game NEEDS Mourinho: "I would be sorry if Mourinho were to leave Inter and the Italian championship.

"Italy needs big characters and great coaches like him."

Actually if Mou' leaves Italy, the Italian football will be doomed! Hate him or like him, Mou' is a winner! Welcome to Man. United when SAF calls it a day!
