Guus Hiddink Won't Join Inter - Agent
The tactician's representative has denied that Hiddink could take over from the 'Special One'...

The agent of Guus Hiddink, Cees van Nieuwenhuizen, has denied the coach is a potential replacement for Jose Mourinho at Inter next season.

There has been speculation that Mourinho will leave the Nerazzurri for Spanish giants Real Madrid this summer, but Van Nieuwenhuizen informed fcinter1908.it that Hiddink is not an option at the San Siro.

"It is impossible Guus will coach Inter next season," he explained.

"I rule it out competely. It's impossible."

Hiddink will leave his post with the Russian national team when his contract ends on June 30 and is set to take over as head coach of Turkey. However, this does not completely rule out the possibility of him coaching at club level, as in the past he coached Russia and Premiershit side Chelsea at the same time.

I don't think they would've paid the entire 40mil cash upfront but not sure on that one.

[Messinterista]

I hope its true. I'd like to see our competition get stronger.

Miha in Madrid to 'study his Merda'
Friday 21 May, 2010
Catania boss Sinisa Mihajlovic will attend the Champions League Final in Madrid 'to study his Merda'.

The 41-year-old Serb is the favourite to replace Testa di cazzo who is expected to join Real Madrid next week.

Mihajlovic had already planned to be at the Santiago Bernabeu, but recent speculation about his future has made the former Lazio and Merda defender's presence all the more significant.

Il Corriere dello Sport understands that Mihajlovic will now watch the game as if he were Merda's new boss, looking for things that might influence the club's transfer strategy this summer.

Merda President Massimo Merdatti intends to meet Mihajlovic on Monday either in Milan or at Forte dei Marmi to discuss replacing Testa di cazzo.

Merdatti would ideally like a new Coach in place by Tuesday or Wednesday at the latest, so Inter can start preparing for next season.

Testa di cazzo’s Real to shop in Italy
Friday 21 May, 2010
Testa di cazzo has reportedly already drawn up his shopping list for the summer – as Real Madrid boss!

The Portuguese Coach is expected to quit Merda after tomorrow’s Champions League Final against Bayern Munich.

Should he resign from the Merdazzurri then it would only be to join the Spanish giants who have courted him for some time.

However, according to sources in Spain, he’ll be bringing three players from Serie A with him should he move on.

Two are from his own dominant Merda side in the shape of marauding full-back Douglas Maicon and hot-shot striker Diego Milito.

The Brazilian full-back has been on Real’s radar for months and would be a welcome addition for the former Chelsea boss.

Milito, though, is understood to have been specifically requested by the tactician after he proved himself to be one of Italy’s top performers.

Having arrived from Genoa last summer, he scored the goals that have given the Merdamata a chance of an historic treble.

However, convincing Merda to let the Argentine go will be tough.

Lazio’s Aleksandar Kolarov is the third piece of the Serie A jigsaw who is being associated with Testa di cazzo.

It’s no secret that Merda wanted to sign the left-back in January but no deal could be agreed with the Stadio Olimpico outfit.

Bagg, does it feel stupid to support the same team that has made your team look like shit and knocked them out of the CL? I'm just asking cause this is the kind of question only a Rubentino can answer...

[maro]

Well, he was supporting Fulham in the Europa Cup final I hear.

[Bagg10]

A lot of teams made Juve look like shit this year. But looking like shit and actually being Inter, i mean shit, are two completely different things.

Blog: Italy 1982 = Inter 2010

Steve Mitchell on the 10 uncanny similarities between Italy’s 1982 World Cup victory and Inter’s Champions League charge

1. Italy started their 1982 World Cup campaign with a goalless draw against Poland. Jose Mourinho’s men kicked off their current Champions League season with a 0-0 at San Siro against Barcelona.

2. Back in 1982, Enzo Bearzot’s team drew their next two matches to qualify for the second stage as group runners up. After Barcelona, Inter could only draw with Rubin Kazan and Dynamo Kiev and finished as group runners up.

3. Under mounting pressure 28 years ago, Bearzot declared a Press embargo. After the home game against Sampdoria this season, Mourinho also refused to speak to the media.

4. When Italy faced the might of Argentina in Spain, the Azzurri raised their game to silence the critics with a 2-1 victory. Inter were never expected to beat Chelsea in the first knock out stage of this season’s Champions League, but they did twice – 2-1 and 1-0.

5. In Spain, Bearzot’s Azzurri faced Brazil in what was effectively a semi-final play-off. Not many people gave them a hope but they turned the form book on its head with a 3-2 victory. Move forward 28 years and Barcelona were expected to see off the Italian challenge in the semi-final. Mourinho tore up the script as his team ran out 3-2 aggregate winners.

6. In 1982, Italy faced Poland in the semi-final in a repeat of their opening fixture. The Nerazzurri also faced the same opposition, Barcelona, in the last four as they had done in their opening group game.

7. Bearzot’s men played their semi-final game at the Camp Nou, Mourinho’s side also played their semi-final second leg at the same venue.

8. Their victory in 1982 was the first for the Azzurri since the 1930s. Back then they won consecutive World Cups in 1934 and 1938, one of which was on home soil. Should Inter seal victory on Saturday night in Madrid, it will be their first victory in the competition since their back to back victories in 1964 and ‘65, one of which was in their San Siro home.

9. Enzo Bearzot’s victory in 1982 came 44 years after the second success of Vittorio Pozzo. Should Mourinho triumph on Saturday, it will be 45 years since Helenio Herrera won the second of his two European Cups.

10. The Azzurri’s opponents in the World Cup Final of 1982 were West Germany and the game was played at the Santiago Bernabeu in Madrid. Mourinho must overcome German opposition in Bayern Munich at the same venue if Inter are to become kings of Europe again. So 3-1 Inter anybody?
