Jose Mourinho has been unveiled as the new Real Madrid coach with a mandate to improve the club's fortunes at home and abroad.

The Portuguese has enjoyed success across Europe, most recently at Inter Milan where he claimed the treble of Serie A, Coppa Italia and Champions League during the 2009/10 season.

Mourinho has already expressed his admiration for Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard, and both will likely be subject to a summer of scrutiny as the 47-year-old sets about reshaping Madrid's squad.

Here, we look at potential transfer targets the incoming Madrid boss will be hoping to lure to the Bernabeu this summer.

DIEGO MILITO

The Argentina hitman has been a firm favourite of Mourinho's since he brought him to Inter last year. Milito will again hope to impress his former coach at the World Cup after an outstanding display in the UEFA Champions League final, where he netted both goals in his side's 2-0 win over Bayern Munich.

Milito also scored the winner in the Coppa Italia final against Roma, and was on target as Inter sealed the Serie A title with a 1-0 win at Siena on the final day of the season. A move for the 30-year old would pitch him into direct opposition with his brother Gabriel, who plays for Barcelona.

ASHLEY COLE

Mourinho has spoken often of his affection for Chelsea and there is a good chance he will look to mount a raid of his former club this summer. Cole is a big admirer of Mourinho, after the Portuguese helped to develop him into one of the best full-backs in world football, and may be open to the opportunity to a switch to the Spanish capital once he has returned from the World Cup.

Blues boss Carlo Ancelotti will certainly not want to part with the 29-year old, but Cole could view any move as a fresh start following a season plagued by negative headlines off the pitch.

DIDIER DROGBA

The Ivory Coast international will be another Chelsea star on Mourinho's radar as he bids to strengthen his forward line. Drogba is currently under contract until 2012 but Chelsea may be tempted to cash-in on the 32-year-old.

Drogba would give Madrid more physical strength up front, as well as providing valuable muscle when defending set-pieces. Drogba is yet to win a Champions League title and may view Mourinho as the man best- placed to help him fulfil that ambition.

STEVEN GERRARD

Mourinho came close to signing the Liverpool skipper when he was in charge at Chelsea and has made no secret of his admiration for the Reds star.

With Liverpool missing out on Champions League qualification, the time could be right for the Portuguese to try and turn Gerrard's head once again with the lure of a big money move to the Spanish capital.

MAICON

Few will be surprised if the new Madrid boss elects to sign the Inter full-back this summer. Madrid fans may have their misgivings over the defensive mentality Mourinho has shown in Italy, but shoring up the backline will be crucial if Barcelona's dominance is to be broken domestically, and if the club are to improve on their recent below-par showings in the Champions League.

The signing of Maicon, who has pipped Dani Alves to the right-back berth in the Brazil national side, would be a real show of intent in this regard.

FRANK LAMPARD

The England midfielder flourished under Mourinho at Chelsea and could be tempted to link up with his former coach once again.

Lampard turns 32 in June and may see a move to Spain as the last major challenge of his career.

JOE COLE

There is an outside chance that Mourinho could also look to snap up the other Cole in Chelsea's ranks. The midfielder is out of contract at Stamford Bridge this summer and is known to be weighing up his options ahead of a likely move away from west London.

After the heady spending of last summer, the prospect of signing such a talent on a free will also be attractive to both Mourinho and the Bernabeu board.

Cole has already been linked with moves to Manchester City and Liverpool but is believed to favour staying in London, with Tottenham leading the chase for his signature. However, the chance of a move to Spain to work under Mourinho once again could turn his head.
