The Special One purchases a fittingly special property

Just uner four weeks ago, Inter Milan boss Jose Mourinho purchased a beautiful property in the picturesque Portuguese town of Setubal (pictured above). This sprawling villa is simply lovely, but its location some 2,100km away from the new office makes it a tad inconvenient. Hence, the Special One has splashed out on a new pad on the edge of Laka Como, about 50km north of Milan.

In addition to stunning views, the new place has a swimming pool, tennis courts, marble floors and carefully selected antique furniture for his beloved pooch Gullit to make a mess of. The mansion also has a helipad, meaning trips into Milan that would take an hour or so by road can be completed in minutes.

The property was previously owned by Italian multi-millionaire industrialist Antonio Ratti, who died in 2002.

It’s quite far away from the new office

When one commits to a high-flying job in a strange new country, one of the most important things to do is to find a new home. New Inter Milan boss Jose Mourinho has been doing exactly that, and today started moving stuff into a beautifully-appointed multi-million pound villa.

Trouble is, it’s in Setubal, Portugal, approximately 2,167km (or around 20 hours in the car) from his new place of work
