Jose Mourinho was the boss of Samuel Eto’o at Inter Milan and now the striker has admitted that he took the Portuguese’s departure, from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 to Real Madrid, difficult.
Eto’o had words of praise and admiration for Mourinho. The striker believes that he has never met a more animated person in football than his former master tactician
"He was a great person and a great coach.”

In that season, the duo won trophies in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926 plus the UEFA Champions League.
