Chievo Verona coach Luigi del Neri admited at the end of a particulary turbelent press conference yesterday that he is joining Porto as a replacement for Jose Mourinho. after facing a barrage of qustions the coach finaly said:

"At the end of the season I will go to coach Porto."

He was obviously very frustrated, but looked a determined man. He will of course be replacing one of the most highly rated young managers in world football, Mourinho is confidentley expected to be joining Chelsea, but a man that can take a side as small as Chievo to Serie A and thrive there, should have little fear in Portugal.
