Coach of the Black Satellites, Desmond Ofei, has revealed Jose Mourinho, the former manager of Chelsea and AS Roma, as his inspiration.
Ofei’s remarks came after guiding Ghana’s U-20 team to victory at the 13th African Games.
In the championship match held at the Accra Sports Stadium, the Satellites secured a hard-earned 1-0 triumph over Uganda, with Jerry Afriyie netting the decisive goal.
During an interview, Ofei, who received training in Belgium, praised the current work of Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi but credited the legendary Portuguese coach as his mentor.
He hailed Mourinho, the former coach of Real Madrid and Manchester United, as the greatest coach of all time.
“At the moment, Roberto de Zerbi is doing a wonderful job at Brighton but for me, it is Jose Mourinho,” he told Asempa FM, as monitored by Footballghana.com.
“He has managed big characters and always brings the best out of his players. Jose Mourinho is my coaching role model and for me, he is the best coach,” he added.
