Chelsea is managed by Jose Mourinho, who took over for some other guy on June 3, 2013.

International Champions Cup Format: The 2013 International Champions Cup is a bracketed competition in which all teams will play three games apiece. All games will require a result due to the format of the tournament, but there will not be extra time played in any of the games. All games will consist of two 45-minute halves, and if there is not a winner after 90, the game will proceed directly to penalties.

As a friendly, this game means nothing as far as Chelsea's season is concerned. It will have some impact on the second game of their tour though, as their next opponent will be determined by the result. A win over Inter will see the Blues playing AC Milan on Sunday evening in NY, while a loss to Inter would see Chelsea meet Valencia several hours earlier in the day.
