Top 10 players who excelled under Jose Mourinho

#6. Javier Zanetti

Zanetti captained the side that won the treble under Mourinho

Inter's captain during the treble winning season, Zanetti was 37 at that time but led the team to win the biggest prize that European club football has to offer.

Zanetti's playing style went hand in hand with Mourinho's tactics. It culminated into forming a defensive side that would be remembered as being one of the most astute in recent memory.

Mourinho has praised Zanetti for his workmanship in spite of his age, while Zanetti recently praised Mourinho calling him Inter's leader who led the club through a difficult time even during the first season. Zanetti has also praised Mourinho's attention to detail which according to him makes all the difference at the highest level.
