Indomitable Lions legend Samuel Eto’o has conceded he was hurt by Jose Mourinho’s decision to join AS Roma. The 58-year-old coach was relieved of his duties at Tottenham on April 19, with the former Chelsea and Manchester United manager failing to convince a third Premier League employer.
The Portuguese, however, secured a move to the Serie A outfit, signing a three-year contract with them. It is a move that hurt the former Cameroon striker.
“It hurt me, I am not going to lie, to see the one who gave me the chance to win titles in Italy to go to another [Italian] club,” Eto’o told AS .
“But I know that he is happy and our friendship is above everything. I would have liked to see Mourinho at Inter again. But I will always wish him luck at Roma. But he has to understand that no matter how much I love him, for me Inter will always come before.”
Having massive experience in football in Africa and abroad, does the former Barcelona star wish to coach?
“I am happy and that is the most important thing. I can share great moments with great people,” Eto’o continued.
“I have been living in Doha for over four years, where I have met some great people. This city gives me great opportunities. I get up, I go to work, in the afternoon I can get on a boat, enjoy the beach, the food … These are things that can only be experienced here.”
