AFTER SPELLS AT INTER AND MAN UTD, IBRAHIMOVIC AND MOURINHO REUNITE.
when roma takes on milan on sunday, zlatan ibrahimovic and jose mourinho will reconvene at the olimpico, this time as adversaries.
the friendship between zlatan and the portuguese tactician dates back to their shared wins and the 'rupture' of pasadena.
this sunday, the two will reunite at the olimpico, causing them to reflect on their many shared experiences.
one of the top four clashes of the weekend is roma vs. milan, and the two huge personalities are once again generating the headlines before of the match.
Ibrahimovic had previously played for Mourinho at Inter and Manchester United, where the two were successful together but also had some tense moments.
Mourinho and Inter won the Scudetto together in 2008-09, with the Swede being named the Capocannoniere in Serie A.
However, the 40-year-old striker moved to Barcelona the next summer, and at the pre-season retreat, he informed Mourinho that he had 'chosen' to join the La Liga giants.
Ibrahimovic famously promised Mourinho, "I'm going to win the Champions League," to which the Portuguese manager replied, "You can leave, but maybe we'll win it."
Samuel Eto'o moved from Barcelona to Inter, replacing Zlatan Ibrahimovic, and proved to be a wonderful purchase for the Nerazzurri, who won the Treble in 2009-10.
But, before the Swede suffered a knee injury, the two rejoined at Manchester United and cemented their bond.
Ibrahimovic said upon his arrival at United that he headed to Old Trafford to follow the former Inter coach.
In 2016, he told the Daily Star, "He is the genius, the masterbrain." "He understands what he needs to do in order to win." At Inter, he taught me a lot. Who wouldn't want Mourinho as their coach?"
According to Tuttosport, Mourinho tried to get Zlatan at Real Madrid while he was leaving Milan, but the player chose to join Ligue 1 side Paris Saint-Germain.
However, when the 90 minutes at the Olimpico on Sunday, when the two winners and two great personalities fight in the Italian city, mutual respect and tremendous memories of victory and glory will most likely be cast aside.
