"Mourinho taught me a lot, and sometimes we exchange messages, even though he is coaching Benfica, a club with a strong rivalry with Porto," said Porto president André Villas Boas. He told Gazzeta dello Sport.

"I was younger... My time at Inter was a fine experience, which I recall with pleasure."

"We are fighting for the league title, but we respect each other."

The remarks underline José Mourinho’s influence on Portuguese and international football, and on Villas Boas’s own path in management.

In a separate recent interview with Marca, Villas Boas was confronted with the prospect of Mourinho coaching Porto and made a revelation about the Benfica manager.
