New Chelsea striker Samuel Eto’o has admitted that during his stint at FC Barcelona, he hated Jose Mourinho, but now, the Cameroon international has revealed that he enjoys his managerial style and is even a good friend.
The Blues faced the Catalan giants several times in the Champions League during Mourinho’s first stint at Stamford Bridge and in an interview, Eto’o has revealed that he didn’t like the Portuguese-man at all.
However, the striker was then managed by Mourinho during his time at Inter Milan, and together, they guided the Italian side to winning the treble, including the Champions League.
The 32-year-old striker has admitted, it was his time at Inter that changed his opinion of Mourinho.
‘Before meeting at Inter, we didn’t know each other personally, so our relationship was tense,’ Eto’o told The Sun. ‘I even said one time that I’d never play for a club where Jose was coach.
‘But God knows best. He wanted to show me that I was wrong and today Jose is a friend. Now he’s my coach again.’
