The main goal of Inter's youth academy is Two players per year from the youth academy to first team selection. I guess Benazzi is one of those. Interesting piece on Mourinho:

The work Jose Mourinho undertook at Internazionale Milano FC is highly appreciated - especially his vision of football. Mourinho supervised the work of Inter's youth academy via regular visits, meetings and open discussion with youth coaches in order to develop new Inter players. Mourinho launched the so-called 19+4 format in the Senior A team squad. He wanted to have 19 experienced, world-class players plus four promising youngsters from the club academy. The academy is therefore responsible for developing at least four players capable of joining the Inter A team every season.

And that gentlemen, is why Mourinho is a legend. He also won the treble. I'll leave you with a quote from Ernesto Paolillo, Inter's Managing Director, "For us, football signifies respect and passion. Our goal is to first make men of boys and then turn them into champions."
