The former head coach of the Inter Milan Primavera squad has remarked on the comparisons being made to Mourinho, by stating that he is not at his level.
Being the head coach of a club like Inter Milan is always a tough ask, and this theory picks up strength from the number of managers who have been shown the exit door in recent times. Many big names have left the club and examples of these can be found by
the departures of Rafael Benitez, Gian Piero Gasperini, Claudio Ranieri; etc. The biggest struggle that these managers faced was their inability to fill the void of the legendary http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan manager, Jose Mourinho.
Amidst the crisis at the club, last season, which saw Ranieri collect only a solitary win from his last ten matches; there were chants by the Nerazzurri faithful to bring back Mourinho to the club. Ranieri left the club following mutual agreement and he
was replaced by Andrea Stramaccioni, who had led the club’s youth team to victory in the NextGen Series.
His performances in the matches that ensued landed him the permanent http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684 at the Beneamata outfit, and he has been able to instil the confidence back in to the club, and has been instrumental in their recent surge up the table. They are currently in the fourth
place of the Serie A standings, and there has been renewed optimism in the Nerazzurri fans following their good start to the season.
Massimo Moratti has compared Strama to Mourinho, citing his qualities to connect with the fans as one that Mourinho had developed. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Javier-Zanetti-c18096 has lauded the abilities and the grasp that Stramaccioni has on the game, despite his young age.
The head coach of Inter has downplayed all such comparisons, and modestly replied that Mourinho was a special coach who had won a lot of trophies, whereas he had not.  He further remarked:
“I’m very proud of what the President said. I can only smile at the comparison because I’m a nobody, while Mourinho has won wherever he has been. I feel fortunate because I caught the attention of a club like Inter, first with the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/U-17-Youth-team-c40787, then President
Moratti was following the Primavera and appointed me.”
Strama commented that he works hard each day to prove his selection as the head coach of Internazionale to be the right choice.
