Throughout his career, Istanbul's Fenerbahçe coach Jose Mourinho has worked with many world-renowned players.

However, he regrets that he never got to coach two Italians.

"As an example, I could say that I never had the chance to train Lionel Messi. On the other hand, it must be admitted that no one could actually train him.

It would be absurd because the Argentine was born knowing everything and is more likely to teach you something."

"I wanted to have Daniele De Rossi on my team, but it was impossible. I also longed to lure Francesco Totti to Milan's Inter, despite his solid age, but I failed again," said the Portuguese.
