Former Juventus chief Luciano Moggi says Inter Milan coach Jose Mourinho is over-rated.
Moggi is no great fan of the former Chelsea manager and told Solo Calcio su Sportitalia: "Mourinho? He's an over-rated coach, partly because until now he has never been really tested.
"To win his matches, he relies on his champions."
Didier Drogba says he'll always be grateful to his former Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho.
The Ivorian hitman admits he would have risked breaking his legs playing for the Special One but was not happy with one of the successors Luiz Felipe Scolari who dropped Drogba - a decision that cost the Brazilian his job.
He said: "Mourinho is somebody very strong tactically but mainly from the psychological side. He knows how to get through to the players.
"I remember sometimes I would talk to him and say 'Why are you giving me two days off even though we have a match in a few days?' And he said that my rest was mostly psychological.
"That means you can cut yourself off for a couple of days and you rest and you're mentally well and you come back fresh. The mental side is 90 per cent of football. The players are with him absolutely. He gives you everything.
"He says 'Do what you want, with me you can do what you want. But on the pitch you give me everything. You don't betray me. I give you everything you want, I give you days off but you must be performing on the pitch.'
"He would come and tell you if you had a bad game that you didn't play well but the next match if you played well he'd also come to say 'For me you were man of the match.'
"I loved him because he made me progress as a player. I was ready to break my legs for him.
"For Scolari also but I didn't have the chance. Football is like that."

footballers arent judge by their working hours or days..but by the results during that 2hour span in a match..so from a manager's point of view, if working/training lesser will result in a better match output then its justified.
player power at a club....that's not a very good thing isn't it? Imagine the likes of beckham and ince forcing fergie out lol.
