Jose's targeting the Tinkerman

JOSE MOURINHO finally pits his wits against rival Claudio Ranieri on Saturday.

Mourinho led Chelsea to two Premier League titles after taking over from Ranieri, who became known as The Tinkerman while at Stamford Bridge.

The pair have had a series of verbal spats since Ranieri was sacked in 2004 — and will meet as opposing bosses for the first time in Milan tomorrow.

Inter Milan boss Mourinho, 45, has criticised Juventus chief Ranieri, 57, for being too old.

Mourinho's direct and vocal style of management does not sit well with Ranieri, who said: "I don't like how he creates controversies."

The personal rivalry adds to the existing friction between Juve and Inter fans — which got worse when Juventus were stripped of the Serie A crown in 2006 after a match-fix scandal.

Inter grabbed the title and Juve's top stars, while the Turin club were relegated.

Third-placed Juve could go joint top in Serie A if they beat Inter, who are without banned centre-back Ivan Cordoba.

which side will you be taking ?

personally i want Juve to win

Hmm I don't think i would choose either. The team i like in Italy is AC Milan.

Will Jose be too old to manage in 12 years time?

Juventus are a better team than Inter, in my opinion. Fancy them to win 2-0.

Mourinho was the better coach though, so Inter to win. Besides, Jose's at home.

[Gianfranco_Z 202]

Come on JUVE!

[Joe Cool 388]

Don't like Juve at all... group of match fixing scumbags. I hope Inter crush those bastards.

[Drogba11CFC 108]

Jose won.
