Milito scores 2 as Italian club beats Bayern Munich in European club final
MADRID - Inter Milan is champion of European soccer for the first time in 45 years and appears about to lose the coach who ended the long wait.
Diego Milito scored a goal in each half to lead Inter over Bayern Munich 2-0 Saturday night, making Jose Mourinho just the third coach to win the European title with two clubs.
Mourinho, the self-proclaimed “Special One,” said after the game he is likely to leave to become coach of Real Madrid.
“This makes me feel really sad,” Mourinho said. “I’ve become part of Inter’s history and I don’t want to talk about anything else. If I talk about it, I’ll cry, and I don’t want to do that.”
Yet, he did talk more about Real Madrid. Mourinho said he plans to speak Monday with Real Madrid president Florentino Perez.
“If I go, it will be because Real is an enormous club that wants the same things I want — just like what Inter wanted,” Mourinho said. “I want to become the only coach to win the Champions League with three different clubs. I like tough challenges in my career.”
In the first Champions League final played on a weekend, Milito scored in the 35th and 70th minutes at Real Madrid’s Santiago Bernabeu Stadium to give Inter its third European title, following back-to-back wins in 1964-65. Inter completed an Italian treble following victories in Serie A and the Italian Cup. - AP
