Wesley Sneijder was not at all pleased with the words that José Mourinho uttered about his experience at Fenerbahçe, when he was introduced as the coach of Benfica. The Dutch international was guided by the Portuguese coach at Inter Milan, where together, they won the treble. The President of the Turkish emblem also recently made serious accusations against the Special One.
Let's start by remembering that José Mourinho was asked about his past experience, and he responded as follows: "My career has been rich so far, I have coached the biggest clubs in the world in different countries. I made a wrong choice, but without regrets because they don't help us at all, but the awareness of what we did well or wrong exists."
"I made a mistake going to Fenerbahçe, it was not my cultural level, it was not my level in football, but obviously I gave everything until my last day. Obviously, I also had to mourn, just like Bruno is surely doing now - because nobody likes to leave -, but coaching Benfica is returning to my level and my level is coaching the biggest clubs in the world", concluded the Benfica coach.
Wesley Sneijder commented on the statements to 'De Telegraaf': "It's not smart of him to say something like that. And he knew that beforehand. He shouldn't have said something like that. They would not accept those kinds of words, especially in Turkey. I find it shameful".
The former Dutch international, on the other hand, was happy with the arrival of the Special One at Benfica: "That's fantastic, especially after Benfica eliminated Fenerbahçe in the Champions League playoffs. I love the man and still have a special connection with him. I wish him all the best. We had good times together. It was very brief, but it feels like we worked together for years".
