The former Chelsea manager won the Premier League in his two stints at the West London club and lifted the Champions League trophy twice with FC Porto and Inter Milan.<\/p>\n

Chairman Daniel Levy said about the new coach: \u201cIn Jose we have one of the most successful managers in football. He has a wealth of experience, can inspire teams and is a great tactician. He has won honours at every club he has coached. We believe he will bring energy and belief to the dressing room.\u201d<\/p>\n
