The president of Milan's "Inter" club, Massimo Moratti, compares coach Andrea Stramaccioni to Jose Mourinho after winning four consecutive victories.
Over the weekend, "Inter" defeated "Milan" 1-0 in the city derby and reduced the gap from leaders Turin's "Juventus" and "Napoli" to four points.
At 36 years old, Stramaccioni is the youngest coach in "Inter" history, but since March, he has managed to win 13 out of 22 matches in the Italian championship, experiencing defeat only five times.
"In terms of dedication to work, Stramaccioni is equal to Mourinho. They are both wonderful coaches," Moratti said.
The coach himself responded: "I am proud that the president compares me to Mourinho. Of course, it makes me smile because I am nobody, while Mourinho has won almost all the major trophies. I just hope to repay the opportunity to coach such a team with my work."
