Former Inter Milan youth coach Fulvio Pea believes Jose Mourinho can guide Chelsea to Champions League glory this season.

Pea worked under Mourinho as a youth coach at the Nerazzurri and saw his old boss guide the club to Champions League glory in 2010 as part of a historic treble.




The Chelsea manager has already tasted European success with FC Porto and Inter Milan, but suffered numerous semi-final heartbreak with Chelsea and Real Madrid.

And the 47-year-old believes that one season into his job, the Portuguese can deliver the European Cup to Chelsea this season.
 


“Mourinho always succeeds in building great teams and maybe this is the year he brings the Champions League to London”, Pea told Social Calcio News.
