Zanetti: 'I would throw myself into the fire for Mourinho'
In a recent BBC documentary, "How to Win the Champions League: Jose Mourinho," Inter vice-president Javier Zanetti shared heartfelt memories of his time working with the Portuguese manager.
Zanetti, who played for Inter under Mourinho, highlighted the strong bond that developed between the coach and his players.
Mourinho's ability to create a sense of family within the team was a key factor in their success, according to Zanetti.
He recalled the Argentine barbecues, or "asados," that they would have during the week, which Mourinho would also attend. "It was a moment of unity, a family moment," Zanetti said.
The former Inter captain praised Mourinho's leadership and the impact he had on the team.
"He taught us so much and made us believe that we could make history, and we did it," Zanetti said, referring to their Champions League triumph.
Zanetti's emotional tribute underscores the lasting impact of Mourinho's tenure at Inter, both on and off the pitch.
