„Paris Saint-Germain“ star Zlatan Ibrahimovic says that Jose Mourinho is the smartest strategist of all he has ever worked with.
The current London „Chelsea“ coach led him in the 2008-2009 season when he was a member of Milan's „Inter“. That same year, the forward won the award for the most productive „Serie A“ player.
The 33-year-old footballer has worked with a number of famous strategists throughout his career, including current Munich „Bayern“ coach Pep Guardiola, but according to Ibra, no one compares to Mourinho.
„Mourinho is very clever. He does not treat everyone the same. He knows how to communicate with players as individuals and get the most out of them,“ the coach told The Guardian.
„Considering how he communicates with the players, leads them - 'manipulates' is not the right word here - Mourinho is the smartest himself. Without a doubt.“
Zlatan Ibrahimovic also said that he is not disappointed that he has not yet been able to triumph in the UEFA Champions League. The footballer is satisfied with the trophies he has won, and the most important thing is that people who were talking badly about Ibra 15 years ago now have to take back their words.
