Francesco Valiani scored a stunning goal as promoted Bologna beat Milan 2-1 at the San Siro to spoil Ronaldinho’s Serie A debut.
Last year’s runners-up Roma drew 1-1 with Napoli, who had defender Fabiano Santacroce sent off for a second yellow card in the 54th minute.
Internazionale coach Jose Mourinho says he has no intention of selling midfielder Dejan Stankovic.
Speculation in recent weeks has linked the Serbian with a switch to fierce rivals Juventus, but Mourinho has poured scorn on the reports.
“Juve can think what they want but I have put things straight with them,” Mourinho said.
The Telegraph has an article looking at who Mourinho is likely to target when he starts work as Inter manager.
The players that could be joining the ‘Special One’ include:
Frank Lampard
Chelsea
Inter badly need a new midfielder to play alongside Esteban Cambiasso, but will need to beat Chelsea’s offer of £130,000 a season.
Samuel Eto’o
Barcelona
Zlatan Ibrahimovic has renewed his contract, but the Italian champions want an out-and-out striker to partner him, and to relieve the 34-year-old Julio Cruz.
Ricardo Carvalho
Chelsea
Jose Mourinho may return to Chelsea to buy a proven defender to shore up Inter’s back four.
Mahamadou Diarra
Real Madrid
The Malian midfielder is thought to be another target after his late return from the African Nations Cup led to a falling-out with Real Madrid.
Ricardo Quaresma
Porto
Inter could offer £30 million for the Portuguese winger. Luis Figo has already nominated him as his successor.
Jose Mourinho has been appointed as manager of Inter Milan and has signed a three-year deal.
Inter Milan have just won their third consecutive Serie A title, but in Europe they are lacking and it is hoped that Mourinho can help them in the Champions League.
The only question left now is, how many players will Mourinho take from Chelsea? Drogba and Lampard are strong candidates.
