Top 10 players who excelled under Jose Mourinho

#3. Wesley Sneijder

Sneijder played for Mourinho during his Inter days

Who can forget when at the top of his managerial prowess, Jose Mourinho won the treble with Inter. One of the most instrumental figures during his time at the Italian club was Wesley Sneijder.

The Dutchman who played as a number 10 was perhaps one of the best midfielders in the world at that time. Mourinho played a huge part in making that happen, turning the flop from Real Madrid into a world beater. Jose Mourinho has since called Sneijder, a perfect number 10.

Sneijder has also been at praise for his former manager. His ability to transition in both attack and defence effectively was key to him excelling under Jose. It is also worth taking a note that the midfielder gradually declined since Mourinho left the club and never truly hit the heights again that he did under the Portuguese manager.
