Cameroon football legend Samuel Etoó has said his former coach at Inter Milan and Chelsea Jose Mourinho was his all time favourite club manager.
Eto’o was part of the legendary Nerazzurri side that won the Treble in 2010, lifting the Champions League, Serie A title and Coppa Italia in the same season under Mourinho’s guidance.
Speaking to JoySports, Eto’o was asked who he would choose as the best coach in the world and why.
“My best manager is Jose Mourinho,” said Eto’o.
“It’s also because he sees African players as the best. Mourinho believes so much in Africa and African players, and gives them that opportunity anytime. He was in Namibia recently for holidays as well,” said who is now Cameroon Football Federation president.
Eto’o hung up his boots in 2019 after playing for Qatar SC, Konyaspor, Antalyaspor, Sampdoria, Everton, Chelsea, Anzhi, Inter, Barcelona, Real Mallorca, Real Madrid, Espanyol, Leganes and Kadji Sports.
